crossing my fingers

Today I attended an information session about FRB of NY. Perhaps my view of it is a bit rosy, but it sure feels like it's the ideal place for me to work. I hear whether I get an interview or not on October 11. Until then... I'll be wishing and hoping.

So far I'm applying to the following places:
GAO
SEC (Market Regulation)
FRB NY (Bank Supervision and Automated Services groups)
FRB SF (if they have anything)
FRB CH " " "
FR Board of Governors
Mitre Corp.
DISA(?)
OCC/OTS/FDIC/NCUA (so far I haven't seen any posts for these)

I've been disqualified from intelligence work due to close relatives who are non-US citizens, so NSA, CIA are non-starters. I admit that I'm not heartbroken over this.

Work and baseball are the only things keeping me from dwelling on my current sense of isolation. For some reason, I don't feel at liberty to share my sad feelings w/ my friends...it seems importunate to do so right now.
