Hail and well met
Well let me just get this off the burner fast and quick. I am not working at the Post Office. I have declined the position that was given to me. Why? You ask.
Well first and foremost it was not the position that I applied for in the first place. Second it was a hell position in which I would have been working between 2 and 14 hours a night at the discretion of my supervisor and that could change on a daily basis. Thirdly it is completely a temp position and has not one single opportunity for career advancement. Lastly by declining the position I maintain my status in the Post Office and if something else comes up my action has no bearing on my getting that job.
All in all I would be gaining not one damn thing other then a WHOLE lot of stress and with the gas usage I would have to work at least 25 or so hours to keep the van running. Not worth the effort.
I have some other opportunities and some of them do involve the Post Office(just not the factory). I will be pursuing these over the next few days. Yes I am disappointed but I sure as hell am not giving up or getting depressed. I started to but then the thought of my Lady came to me and BAM! All that dark depression just went away.
Everything happens for a reason and this is no exception. I will find work and it will be gainful and not cause me the kind of stress that I was under at GO in the final days.
The only real bad thing is that this pretty much kills any chance of my going to GenCon. Oh well it was a good run of not missing one but it had to end some time. I will miss it though. tear falls from eye
But there is always next year!
May the Force be with you
Excelsior!!!

Next year's GenCon will be better anyway, because Joe will be there.
NO!!!
So help me God you will go to Gen Con!! It's okay, you don't need to drive, this way you can save money for gas and parking! You must go! NO!! I'm melting... melting!! Ah, screw it. It won't be Gen Con without you Matt, and you know that. I'll see what I can do about finding random money for you to use at your discretion, especially for Gen Con.
