(no subject)

Was gonna do the Friday Five, but it left me feeling empty and depressed. Probably best to wait for next week.

Job hunt is bogged down. No answers today. Someone called me back the other day and suggested I might want to look into applying to become a ... parole officer?

Yeah, work is work. But half of what scares me is that I might jump at the first opportunity to cross my sights, and in the process, wipe out chances for the future.

Bright note, though: got ... an invitation today. If I were working, or in a good creative mood, or coming right off the bar exam, I'd be bouncing silly. Even in the blahs, I can summon a smile.

Thanks, Perri! I promise, once it sinks in, I'll try and find the energy to squeak, ok?

Close entry.

Up-side, down-side.

Checked a job search site, got a call back from the people running it, arranged to get out about three hundred resumes to New York law firms. Hopefully something will come up.

This could be where it all begins.

Down side: you know that line you put at the bottom of the resume, the one that says "references available upon request"? Well, one of my big guns under References was the Director of Public Safety for the county, the guy I worked for, the guy whom I showed where they kept the pencils and such.

Turns out that he lost his job when the county government changed hands. And he's still looking.

So much for that.

Close entry.
