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.

Am I a bad person if I don't wish Colleen Good Luck?

Wish you had gotten the interview!

I am wishing Colleen good luck because I believe this is not your destiny.

I believe your destiny is to be a comic artist and creative person.

I believe the goddess has put her hand on you and you'll see what happens next.

p.s. - remember the goddess has a twisted sick sense of humor sometimes, so you just have to go with it. Heh.

Well, I wish you both the best of luck!
Follow your heart and you will find where you truly belong.
Of that I am certain. :)

That being said, it's kinda the hardest thing ever. Especially since your heart never waits up or makes sure you're still back there! Don't give up. :)

P.S.
Awesome comic!
The juxtaposition is great.
Heartbreaking... but great! :)
