Things just went from real good to. . . less good. Dream job fell through; they said that though they really liked me, they decided to hire internally. Maybe they'll have something for me in January. They are idiots. After crying in Times Square for the second time this fall (!!!), I'm trying to figure out what this means. Am I supposed to find a job that makes better use of my writing skills? I recently started interning for The Feminist Press and I'm really enjoying it, though working for no money is ridiculous. I'm selecting critics' quotes to go on the back of books and writing the blurbs that publicize new releases.

I have several things on the table--interview processes pending--but what am I supposed to do now? I thought this was almost done.

Sounds hard and unfun, lady. Clearly something is askew in the universe if your talents are going unrecognized. I'm sure a dozen places in DC would happily fight over you...

Hey! Good to hear from you. Let's get together next time I'm in DC (which I think will be soon) or you're in New York. Email me your cell phone number now?

Mmmm, it's not too bad. My talents are being recognized plenty, just not matched with the right position yet. I imagine I could find quicker success in another city, but I want to live here!
