tried to apply for a government job

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2001.10.11

I tried to apply for a job with the government today. The form was a typical affair that gave precedence to my qualifications such as minority status. On page three the thing barfed because the ID attached to the job wasn't in the gov'ts database, supposedly. The government is damn strange.

On a brighter note, I went and had the negatives from my trip to Tofino developed. Ran them through the scanner and there are some gems. My photographic skills are improving, I think.

When the world is in accord with the Dao, fast horses are left to fertilize fields. When the world is not in accord with the Dao, war horses are bred in the countryside.
