True or False?

[Alex]

When I was in high school a perspective employer made it appear someone was stalking me, in order to see how I would respond.

True.

[ER]

True. Should've been my first clue of what I was dealing with, eh?

What job could that possibly have been for a high school student?  FBI agent?

The FBI's a bunch of frat boys. Never trust 'em. Wouldn't work for them for six figures. A huge portion of the blame for 9-11 rests on the cocky, rival mentality of the FBI sitting on intelligence. Heads should have rolled but the Bush administration didn't want to dampen the wave of nationalism and patriotism that resulted from 9-11 so it never went after the people it should have. 9-11 was preventable.

So it was the FBI's fault a bunch of religious nuts went crazy. Gimme a break.
So what was the job? And why did you not call the cops?

I'll say true.

Very true: people found it odd but my folks encouraged me to play. I wasn't all that bad in tennis either 🎾😊

The FBI sat on intelligence it was required to share. Take that blame however far you will.

The job was about being emotionally and psychologically tested, so it kinda precluded calling the cops.

What was the job title?  I was kidding about the FBI, and not at all sure what you've asserted isn't true.  It seems extreme to frighten a teenager.

There are a lot of jobs where they pull tricks like this one.

^ To a kid? And what kind of job does a kid have that requires that kinda s**t?
If I was ER's Dad I woulda stomped a mudhole in that guy's ass.

John, for years I've come here to the far rural edge of the internet, out in the sticks, this beloved bumblef**k country, and I sometimes write about things I keep bottled up in daily life, today remembering a psychological experiment, other times writing introspectively about other things,  often getting incidents off my chest only a handful of people close to me know about, kind of like digging a hole and whispering in it. Let's face it, in the best sense, this place is in the middle of nowhere. As for the matter in the question, I was over eighteen, I'd agreed to be tested, but didn't know at the time that was one of the tests, so I'd signed away my right to be too outraged that it happened. Mainly the situation consisted of it appearing someone was leaving vaguely unsettling notes on my car containing comments that strongly indicated I was being watched in my daily life . It didn't go on long but it wasn't pleasant either. I've actually alluded to this before when I wrote about my grandpa giving me the Desert Eagle I still carry. The job had no title at that point because I had no position.

^ So what was the job, already???

[ER]

I had to go to college under a fake name and befriend someone. I had to be very visible and wait for her to notice me. But that was when I was nineteen. It's been a strange life, RC.

[RCMerchant]

^ That's a job? What was the title? To be a sneaky liar and spy on someone? What kind of job is that??? Sounds kinda under-handed.

[ER]

Yeah, but it was for a good reason. I can't say I'm proud of everything I've done, but I am proud of that. Shrug. 

Evening awaits. You guys have a good night.
