Esta contratada!

I'm part of the world again! I've been hired as a copywriter...in Center City. The people seem great, the work is obviously what I wanted and almost gave up trying to find. I'm glad I didn't (well I did...more than once, but I always started again.) Three miserable years! I'm so grateful it's over!

I'm starting all over again at entry level, but who am I to complain. I think I'm very fortunate in this environment. Millions of professionals have accepted the fact that the market may never be what it once was. It's a depression of sorts out there, and I had lost my place like so many others. But I found it again! Thank you, God, again and again and again!

NJ rain

We're home and we're still wet! This has been el verano mucho mojado, everywhere...north and south! Drip, drip, drip.

I've already made plane reservations to go back south. But, as my luck would have it, I may have a second interview that week...Elsevier. While that alone is great, the timing isn't...I will lose 200 dolares if I don't go to Sarasota, plus disappoint a few people. I'm in a pickle. Not that I haven't been here before. But why is nothing easy?

Still, Florida was great. If I don't get this writing job, I may head south permanently. Imagine waking every day with the sun in your face. The day is a different color from the outset. Positive, hopeful. I could get used to that color.

But I'll wait. Give Jersey another, maybe one last chance. I hope to know soon. We'll see.

At least the rain has stopped.
