On Saturday I promised to have a story to tell today. Well, I have an unfinished story to tell. I thought I would be able to tell you that I either got or did not get a job at my hometown newspaper. Unfortunately, the man I was supposed to meet with had a family emergency, and our meeting has been postponed until Wednesday. However, I did get some good news on the matter. I'm not entirely clear what the job I'm seeking actually entails, as the posting was quite vague and the man I've been in contact with has been quite vaguer, and originally I thought it would be a crap gopher type of job, which I'm willing to do but was hoping for more. But now it sounds like the job is going to require at least some writing. So even if it is a crap writing job, it's still a real writing credential that I can put on my resume and use to get a good writing job if I'm not satisfied with this job. Wooohooo! I'm all atwitter with excitement. To make things even better, it's in the sports department, and I either follow or have followed at one point or another pretty much all of the major sports. Except NASCAR. But we all know that that doesn't really count anyway. So it's not only a writing job, it's a job writing about a subject I enjoy and am interested in. Did I mention Wooohooo? Because I meant to. I know I haven't gotten the job yet and that even if I do get the job, it won't be much or pay much to start with. But it is a start. And for me that's something.
I'm grateful for amazingsunnydays (20).
