Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

meara, maybe you could work that into your cover letter, or if you manage to get someone from HR on the phone?
Yeah, I may try. And I'll try to explain (like ChiKat says) that working at a small company, I have more experience than my title warrants. But not sure how to say "if you don't like me for this, any chance you'd want to create a lower position just for me pretty please?" I don't want to start out with "I'm looking for a Senior (MyJob) position, or a (MyJob) Manager position", and make it sound like I didn't even read their posting...urgh.
Have I mentioned I hate job hunting??
And this shit is the sorta thing the recruiter is SUPPOSED to do, but he said no one there is calling him back. Sigh.

Dude, your first book is appearing on various good-selling lists. I'd be taking out ads in Variety yelling "So there!" in 50-point type.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Genius. I will say my parents and I liked Ratatouille, but didn't think kids would be into it, but apparently they are. Who knew?

I think may that's something you'd want to broach only after they tell you they don't think you're senior enough for the job they have? I dunno. I hate job searching, too.
Here's a word of the day some folks here may appreciate:
apatheism n. the attitude of not caring about religion or whether there is a God. [link]

Well, but if they don't think I'm senior enough, they probably won't call me and SAY that. They just won't call, y'know?

Yeah, I kind of thought of that, but then remembered all the times I got called in for an interview only to have them tell me they weren't considering me for the job I had applied for, but a lower one. Of course, that only happened when I was trying to move to New York, so the interview required 8 hours on the bus.

True, true, Jesse.
Of course, this job is in Seattle, so we'll see. In any case, the first step would be a phone interview.

Oh, and some crazy chick is demanding pictures, too.
pfft.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Now I'm earwormed with "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing." Even the end of the world hates me.
Better than Def Leppard's "Armageddon It"

I hate you all, and will now spork out my eardrums in an attempt to drown out the competing earworms.
