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.

A happy Colleen is good for everyone, though--she can do creative stuff (like help me sew together minicomics) and not be bogged down at work until 10 pm every night, and I'm thinking maybe I am meant to hold out for the abovementioned maybe-in-the-future editorial job. You know, fate, destiny, me pretending I believe in the power of positive thought and all that stuff....

Ah well. If I had to start a new job, I couldn't plan on driving down to Austin at the hottest time of year, right?
