Today's not going too well. The interview with the outdoors publication went fine, but it's not really my bag... and the commute will be quite far. I get the impression there are a few candidates in the running, but I won't know how it turns out till Wednesday. I'd pretty much decided to go with the weekly, after thinking about it all weekend. It seemed to me a good chance to get on the inside and stay there-- but they were in a pinch and gave it away. The deputy managing editor apologized heartily and said to keep in touch, because they did like me a lot and thought me a good candidate. I said I'd email her, and I will, but right now I feel like an ass for not cashing in my cards with them. Working for the other publication will pay the bills but it just won't be... glam. I guess you get what you can when you can take it. Oh, and the stupid leopard gecko I rescued from my family and spent over $200 on vet bills to nurse back to health kicked the bucket. God damn Mondays.

They gave the job away already? Bitches. Whatever happened to waiting for a response? I'm sorry hunny, that's really shitty. *hug*

May Juanito rest in peace.

awww, poor Janito!!

Sorry you aren't having a great monday. Neither am I. Stupid spider bite from last tuesday is bothering the heck out of me. I got really sick today and went to the docs. Now I am on icky antibiotics that have horrible side effects...hopefully I won't get any of them. To top it off now I am behind in all of my classes.

I am coming home this weekend. You should come visit friday night, maybe?

Most Mondays suck, but yours looks extra-sucky. I am sorry (in that Canadian, sympathetic, I-didn't-have anything-to-do-with-it-but-I-want-you to-feel-better sort of way) about the job problems. Maybe you'll hear something good and the weekly will check back later? Regardless, you'll find something.

** hugs **

Thanks guys. :-) I empathize with the weekly, because they did warn me that they were in a bit of a crisis situation, and that they would *try* to wait. Their theatre editor gave notice two weeks ago and Friday was his last day and they pretty much had to fill the spot. The deputy managing editor apologized and said that they'd keep an eye out for me in the future. She seems sincere, but I guess she could be a really good actress.
