rejection

so i'm still in the midst of a job hunt. looking not only for a full-time job when i move to new york, but also some part-time work to fund the move.

i haven't had much luck in either arena. first, there aren't many positions available for now til the end of july. i have found one prospect. a man will be recovering from foot surgery so he is in need of a personal assistant. i can totally do that. answering phones, returning messages, and organizing god-knows how much information. it's totally up my alley. the weird part is that he wants to skype us in order to interview us. weird. i don't really know what that means. i wonder if i'll be working from home a lot. and that's how we'll communicate. don't know.

the job in new york has been kind of a promising search, except everyone i talk to wants me to call back closer to when i move. one job was as a material librarian, and they are always getting new jobs and thus having new positions. the other job was at a furniture showroom and is a three month position. i don't know how they would have an opening in a month. weird.

the rejection today from the furniture showroom was really emotional. i think it was mostly from not eating. i've been down a lot recently, but that rejection was a blow. it wasn't really even a rejection, and i didn't really want the position. i blame the food or lack there of.

but i'm pressing forward. i applied for several more jobs today, and they were more aligned with what i want to do. so we'll see. it would be great for things to work out.
