ktron | does filling out all the tax forms make me technically employed?

as temp agents go, i guess i'm employed, just haven't yet received a "go work here tomorrow" call. it took three hours, by the time i got there, found that my birth certificate would not function in the place of my long-lost social security card this time (actually, i could swear mom mentioned finding it not too long ago, 3rd grade signature in green ink and all; i thought i'd lost it in france), shuffled a couple blocks over to the social security office and back, signed who knows how many forms, rewrote most of my resume on their application, and took typing and proofreading tests. good thing they were able to transfer up my scores from word and excel... i type 69 wpm now, and my typical capitalization and punctuation habits seem not to have influenced my grasp of real english.

waiting by the phone...
