I kind of have no choice, really. There are no jobs for me in Ann Arbor, so it's better to move now and start getting experience than hang around here and waste my time for a year first.
Is there anything
in
Southport, CT?
These writing exercises are kind of cool, actually, since they're basically the kind of thing I would be doing as a medical writer. So it's nice that they're giving me a chance to prove that I can do it. Or that I actually suck at it.
Go, P-C, it's your job-finding day! Or something to that effect ;-)
Jilli smoochage!

ION: Ow. I wasn't expecting to be so close to the earth today. At least I'm not wearing white.
That's great news, P-C! The job~ma is strong in you, young padawan.

Ah, those happy days when the circle of life unexpectedly closes in on you.
In happy news, the boyfriend of a girl on my team just strolled in, thoughtfully wearing a muscle shirt that shows off one reason she's interested in him. Mmm, shoulders.
Oh! At the History/Natural Science museum they have an exhibit of the history of wedding gowns. I saw some of the pictures in the paper and the gowns are stunning. I'll try and see if pictures are allowed.
Goddamn my slovenly ways!
In cleaning out my trunk, I just came across a cardboard box of just about everything I've wanted in the past year that my mother must have bought for me and packed. A year ago. Brand new knives, a set of silverware, salt, vanilla extract, oregano, the dishtowels that work good, an oven mitt, a good pair of kitchen scissors, and
heart breaks
a ceramic ice cream bowl and spoon set. All found just in time to move home.
I suck! (But at least now I'm enjoying my Ben and Jerry's Magic Brownies ice cream with a ceramic spoon.)

Job hunt question: Since I've been looking for a job for nearly a year now, would it be a good idea for me to ping my references just to say "Hi! Moved to a different state and looking for a job there!"
I would say so, Anne. Most places I've seen only keep your files on hand for six months, and it's possible that in your initial search, they might have only considered you for positions in your state, and they have no way of knowing that you're now looking for positions in another.
