Daily Angst: itty-bitty job search

[spqrblues]

I had this crazy fantasy they would hire both of us. But I should have known it was wonky karma from the start.

Another friend/business contact mentioned the possibility, sometime in the future, of maybe perhaps it-just-might-happen having an editorial position for me that would be quite thoroughly spectacular; so I know I should cool my heels, work on my freelance projects, enjoying getting to read and report on manuscripts and potential import titles and proofread galleys and copyedit hapless authors and all that other good stuff that means I don't have to do drudgework HTML and spreadsheets unless I want to; and take this time to tend to things in Austin; and have patience. But it would have been nice to get a little validation after applying to so many jobs and not getting called for interviews. Maybe they sense from a distance that I don't have a good suit.

My dentist's office posters involve diagrams of gum disease, so I kinda like the "heart never makes sure you're still back there" idea instead. Although I'm envisioning a poster of a pearl-white beach, curving off into the sea-sprayed distance, where beats a tell-tale heart. Dentist visits could be very exciting if patients had to stare at that while waiting.

Hee...yes... but it would only be complete if the office was staffed entirely by Ravens in little pastel blue shirts with happy toof name tags!

My dentist's office just had tons of "hang in there" type posters. Straight outa Dr. Katz.
Also lots of duckies and kitties. :)

Wow, Dr. Katz--I haven't thought about that in ages. I don't think I've seen all of them, either... hmm... do they have it on Netflix? Hmmmmm.
