Continuation of my struggle to find a job

I have an examination I'm taking this evening for one job, although it's going to be some time before that one ever has a chance of happening (as the turn around time for a lot of these government jobs are atrocious). I passed all the examination processes for the job in San Francisco, and I'm listed as number one on the "list" (whatever that really means), and I scored 1000 points (out of...I really don't know, but hopefully 1000). Yet, no one has contacted me about an interview. I called human resources, and I get voice mail, and I get no response.

That seems to be the case a LOT of the time. Voice mail hell. No one answers their phone, and they don't actually return phone calls. It's like human resources departments are now working to put as much distance between humans and their departments.

I even talked to the reserves about the possibility of doing that as a part time job, although we all know that in this political environment, there are no part time military jobs anymore. Funny thing, though. The person I spoke to who was looking into information hasn't returned my phone calls either. I did, however, reach his voice mail. In the phrasing of old BASIC programming:

10 CALL VOICE MAIL
20 WAIT FOR CALL BACK
30 GOTO 10

I'm getting really concerned because I don't think I have enough to make it past the first of the month of July. If I don't find something really, really soon, I'm kind of screwed.

    At least you're aware of it. I am, on the other hand, in denial. I'll manage it somehow. Hmmm...
