Bizarre tax interraction
So, I was waiting for an interview for a public "advocacy" position (e.g. representing poor people in rural areas of Kentucky, and don't get me wrong, they have an amazing program, and they pay back my student loans). . . my former tax professor walks by. For some reason, he wants me to work at the IRS. I pointed out that I'd missed the deadline (through my own stupidity) to get an interview. Then he says, "o, see if they'll go fax your resume over, if they won't, I'm meeting with the interviewers, and I'll tell them to interview you anyway. You should do it youre smart." I went over to career placement and sure enough, even though I'm a month late on the submittal, they agreed to fax the papers over. Hot damn! Apparently the deadlines are completely arbitrary. I do feel kind of weird that my tax professor thinks I'm smart.
