So my job at the NEA is going well...but I feel like these hurricanes hit me square in the face. I'm never going to get caught up. It's pretty ironic that I leave a job that's boring me to tears and take a job that's got so much work for me I barely take the time for lunch! All for $1 more and hour. Gotta love the DC job market.
Speaking of the DC job market, my roommate told me she's gonna start looking for jobs in NYC and Columbus, where she's got family and friends. It made me think that I'm just not ready to give up on finding a job in this town. I know it's supposed to be hard, and man they weren't kidding. The amount of experience you need is crazy for the pay rate most places offer. I mean, if only I were a friend of some big mucky-muck I could get a job without any experience doing the job. Look at Harriet Miers, she got nominated for the Supreme Court with no experience on the bench let alone in Constitutional Law, which is weird because as I've come to realize you need 3-5 years experience to do anything in this town. Maybe I should become a born-again Christian and get quoted as saying the president's the most brilliant man I've ever met...I don't know if I'm interested in selling my soul for a job though.
But that's just me. Gotta get back to work!!!!! Till later.
