The irony, the irony... GL! It seems our fates are connected in some morbid way: we can't have both decent job at the same time! :ok:

Thanks for your support, everyone :P

The bad news is, that position was given to someone else a few days after I applied.

The good news is, I just got an email from an executive editor of the local newspaper in response to a cover letter and resume I sent in (edited out a name mentioned):

Executive Editor said:

thanks, monica; i have sent it to several people here and in corporate to
review; let me know this time next week if you havent heard from [a certain person];  id like [her] to talk with you; i do not know if we have anything
open here, but [she] can give you good advice...

Does anyone else think he has rather craptastic grammar for an executive editor? :P

Anyway, I'm happy, this sounds positive :P

I'd say the one in charge of the grammar is probably [a certain person].:P

Anyway: it does sound like they're quite keen to take you on. Congratulations.:P

Apparently he had run out of capital letters but was in danger of falling shy of his weekly quota of semicolons.  Given those circumstances, I'd say he did a fantastic job!

Apparently you decided not to go for the courier job.  You weren't thinking of becoming an Xtreeeeme Bicycle Messenger, were you?  I'm pretty sure you have to sign a contract forbidding you to bathe, shave, or cut your hair for as long as you hold the job, and that might have been a little off-putting for Tom.
Today is a good day for pie.

rofl... I knew you guys wouldn't disappoint me with the humor :P

As for the courier job, they actually wanted me to drive my own car. Since I have a mini-SUV (Honda CRV), and would be covering quite a few miles, I would probably have ended up paying more in gas and vehicle maintenance than I would actually be making :P
