Confirmation
Got an email yesterday. It was in regards to the literary assistant job I applied to in North Branford:
In other news, while my dad's cleaning lady was over yesterday, I drove out to Target, parked the car in the outskirts of the lot and wrote intently for two solid hours (i.e., until my laptop battery ran out). I've got two main things going, plus a couple of incidental pieces. One of the stories is a strict autobiographical episode (something fairly recent, but nothing job search-related). The other is still coming together, but I would classify it as (I know this will sound silly) part road-trip, part bildungsroman, part elegy. So far, it's set at the Vermont Welcome Center along I-91. Sounds heady, eh? One of the other random things I've been working on is my Oscar acceptance speech. Heehee.
Other than that, I'm trying to spend less time stalking people on Myspace and taking digital pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror. Ah, the life I lead.
Thank you for your interest in XYZ Company - we have recieved your email and your resume and we are in the process of reviewing them. We will notify you soon about further details pertaining the job opening(s) and to set up an interview session.A pleasant change of pace, to be sure. There's none of the elation that used to come along with getting closer to employment. I've built the walls up pretty high where all that's concerned. I'm just content to be acknowledged. It'll surely be nice to get an interview, and it would be even nicer to get an offer. I swear to God, this is the one I'll finally take. I know I've said that before, but this time I mean it. If the job is scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush, I'll do it. Or I'll eat my hat. Seriously. No, seriously.

you know, sometimes i think you should just accept the fact that this is a blog and flesh out some of the "episodes" in your recent life instead of merely alluding to them in every other post. just a thought :)

Trust me, this blog would be much less enticing if I didn't leave you (plural) to fill in a few gaps for yourselves. Anything you could imagine is much sexier than my reality. (Plus I tell you [singular] everything anyway.)
haha. fair enough.
