I’m as appealing as a convicted felon at my job interviews
had my job interview yesterday in Escondido.
it went alright. I thought I was crusing, until I said something crushingly stupid. to the effect of, I believe, “copy editing is a means to an end.”
didn’t actually say that, but you get the point. not something your boss wants to hear.
that’s true. sincerely, it’s true.
I work in a field that I’m halfway interested in, but not something I’ve devoted myself to doing for the rest of my life. I’m looking for something better. someday, I hope to find it. until then, I’ve got a sort-of-unique skill set that allows me to travel, if I may please. kind of how I found myself out in the California desert.
oh well. I’ll try it again. I applied at the Charleston Daily Mail in West by God. a paper near Cleveland. and the San Diego Union Tribune, cause it’d be foolish not to. you never know; they call you back, and a year later you’re fucking set, as far as a resume goes.
I’m also applying at a paper in Sandusky, Ohio, another in Little Rock. oh, and Roll Call.
that’d be pretty fucking sweet. we’ll see.
meanwhile. Greg has apparently invited a photography grad student he met down in Calexico to stay with us. she’s in town for a few weeks doing some field project, and she needs somewhere to sleep. met her tonight. seems pretty nice. she’s also cute, so that’s an added bonus. either way, I hope she likes Nintendo and pot, cause it can get kind of slow out here.
i hope that you make out with your cute house-guest very very soon.
that would be fantastic.
you know what else is pretty cool? in my many hours of wikipedia-ing when i’m bored at work i found out that ‘elephant’ was recorder entirely on 8-track. in low-fi to boot. that’s how they got their vintage sound for it.
i can’t wait for their new record.
make.out.with.the.cute.girl.
smith i thought of you last night when i saw south park as cartman takes a picture of himself with butter’s dick in his mouth.
hmmm…which paper in Escondido? North County Times possibly?
THE SAME.
dude,
ragbrai would be sweet, but i don’t know. part of me wants to go to dc and babysit anna for the summer, but another part of me wants to go back to minnesota. if i did that, it would be for june and july. what about something random in august? we could pick another state and ride across it. are you coming in the end of may?
