Job hunting again

My assignment ended friday and the agency had nothing new. So I'll be spending this coming week hunting for work, contacting agencies and essentially existing in a state of worry.

NY threw another wrench my way, though understandably so. They need verification that I was employed January-April so tomorrow morning I'm sending off copies of my pay receipts. Hopefully it will pass muster and there'll be no more roadblocks to getting unemployment when I need it.

I'm filling out a job application for the firm where I was at the past 3 weeks. One fo the forms I must fill out is an authorization for a background check. What a shame that matters have degenerated to such a degree. Everyone is so risk adverse these days. Yet another symptom of why the US is in decline.

I've registered with IRB forum. I've got some questions for the IRB Professionals. I wonder if any of them will respond. Most likely I'm lighting the match to burn the remainder of my bridges to the IRB world. At this juncture, I think the only IRB related job I could obtain would be with an organization that seeks to reform/overhaul the IRB world and I doubt any such organization exists.

This promises not to be a good week.
