I Wasted A Day With Email

I received an email today from a woman in California in which she was deeply sorry that I would not be interviewing for their position. I spent a good portion of my afternoon going over the email to try and figure out what position she was talking about.

Needless to say, I couldn't find it.

Said woman then spends the rest of my afternoon trying to explain the position to me and how some of my qualifications met their requirements but not others. I eventually had to forego the entire conversation because she was bugging me. Lady, I don't care that I'm not getting the position. You are one of thousands of employers that tell me the same thing daily. What I care about it that I didn't apply for the position and, therefore, don't require an email telling me that I fail in the job hunting department.

In writing updates, I've finished the brief polish on my last Dragon's Jewel chapter and am about two pages into the Call My Name chapter. Depending on how much classwork I finish for my copy editing courses, I may finish it by Thursday, If not, it'll be posted by next Thursday.

A Rusty Spoon Needs To Meet The Job Market's Eye

Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe night of partying and macking with random people. I spent the night...watching my parents get drunk. Yep. That's right. No parties for me. I can't really complain, since that meant I didn't have to deal with police checks and insane drivers. Oh, and the token black guys showing up at my friend's house. I'm not being racist; there's seriously one every year that just randomly appears. No one ever knows him. He just wanders the streets, looking for drunk college kids to let him skimp a beer and disappear into thin air.

I'm actually under house arrest until I find a job. Mother seems to think that forcing me to plunk away at the keyboard all day will eventually land me a job, not realizing that its prime story writing opportunity and no one wants to hire anyone who doesn't have 53259327589 years of experience in said position. We're American like that.

In writing update land, I've polished the next chapter of The Dragon's Jewel and am currently tidying up the next one for Call My Name. I just finished the train segment in RE0 so that should help to keep me focused in that universe for a while. I hope...
