I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

IS it just me or is yahoo.com now a big advertisement for GoDaddy.com?

Hey, Polter, how goeth the job search?

It bloweth. I can't even find any damn jobs to apply for, let alone get hired.

P-C, what exactly are you looking for? What area?

Yippee for Soon to be Big Brother Owen!

Are Buffistas hiding their ugly babies?

I am convinced that if a Buffista had a baby that was ugly, said baby would be just hiding all the spectacular good looks for adult-hood, when baby would become so beautiful we would all die.

Perkins, aren't you on vacation?

ETA: Lyra, that just proves they're a bunch a creeps. I'm glad you're outta there! (But sorry you don't have work.)

Right now, I'm looking for just about anything science-y or writer-y to fund me while I look/wait for a medical science liaison position to open up in an area yet to be determined. Lab work, medical writing, editing, whatever. I'm in Ann Arbor, but I know I can do this sort of thing remotely, the writing/editing part, you know? I came across a listing of a pharm company in New Jersey that has a backlog of papers they need edited and figures made for so they can get them published, but all I have is the address and no other contact information. The local newspaper doesn't take freelance science writers; I'm going to call up the Detroit Free Press next. I have a feeling that rather than find an actual job, I may be able to make do for a while finding lots of profitable small gigs. If only I could find them.

Meanwhile, I keep getting e-mails from random insurance companies who believe I am an "excellent candidate" for selling insurance.

Depends on how you define vacation.

This is just bizarre -- I typed in yahoo.com, went to google and searched for yahoo and clicked on that link and it's an ad for GoDaddy.com saying the address (or site or something) is parked and ready to buy.

Not that I should be either.

This is probably a dumb question, but have you checked with 411 or Switchboard.com? I've managed to get phone numbers from addresses a couple of times.

Good luck with your job search. There doesn't seem to be much in Michigan on journalismjobs.com, but it might be worth your time to check that and mediabistro.com. I have no idea how to get a science-y job.

(Also, in mememe news, I got a call for a second interview with a place where I think I'd be pretty happy that would pay me a bunch more money, so it's possible that life does go on.)
