Month: November 2004

I’m sort of tempted to post my FreeiPods.com referral link here. I’m having absolutely no luck with the conga I tried to sign up with. (I can’t even tell if I’m signed up, or if I’ve been booted. I got an e-mail the other day from someone convinced I was signed up for their Desktop PC conga.)

It’s annoying, because I know the conga in question works. I just can’t figure out how to get it to work for me.

Isn’t that always the way? I get a job and then I hear about something like this. I’m probably not even close to qualified, but for some strange reason I got some spam that seemed to think I was. I’m just trying to figure out what job board I signed up at that got me that kind of message. Is it because I used to work for a mechanical engineer who did a good bit of defense contract work? Because, y’know, I mostly handled the paperwork.

There were a couple of reasons why I didn’t mention this sooner, but now it seems kind of silly not to, since it’s been about a month now and most of you already know about it anyway. So here it is: I got a job.

I’m an editorial assistant with CRC Press, an imprint of Taylor and Francis, in Manhattan.

Leave it once again to The Onion to offer that little ray of hope so many of us have been after this past week:

Personally, I’d have preferred winning back the White House, but maybe that’s just me…

Nathan Rabin hits upon an interesting point: “…comic relief isn’t generally deemed necessary in a successful comedy.”
