I Ain't Workin' Here No More: I am very sad to report that the job offer I wrote about in an earlier entry has been rescinded. Before I was to start, the person who would have been my boss was hospitalized with brain cancer. The organization then fired him--out of budgetary concerns, they tell me--and informed me that new budgetary revelations required that they fire me as well. This is the first time in my life that I have been fired from a job before I even started.

At least I have a full-time income for the time being--I'm working a temp job at the Red Cross, plus doing a day at the newspaper and a night at Tuesday Night Trivia (every week at the Baggot Inn--e-mail me for details). Still, the loss of what I thought would be a dream job is a terrible disappointment (and the illness of my would-be supervisor a tragedy), and I long for a full-time job in my chosen field. This is a time when I am extremely thankful for the good things in my life, like you, my friend, who are reading this, and, of course, My Boyfriend Todd™.
