I would like to say, and this is going out on a limb, fuck you government and your fucked up student employment application process. Usually when you apply for a job you get a phone call not an e-mail asking the question, “Are you sure you want to apply?” Yeah, I fucking want to apply….otherwise I wouldn’t have gone through the bullshit hoops and red tape on your fucked up job site. You idiots would probably pay for anything, even some over-analyzed website.

FYI, its probably a better idea to wait till AFTER you get the government job before you let fly the cynicism…The “are you sure” question is the same as any other request for confirmation of your intent you get on websites or computer applications all the time…I doubt you’ll get the job with that attitude… Now smarten up and get with the program!
