Amazing things are on the way, whether we are ethically and emotionally prepared for them or not.
Hell, we're still not ethically and emotionally prepared for gunpowder.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

You won't have to print pdfs and rescan? Ok, only "bright side" I can think of.
This is true. Well, I get to do it for 3 months. By July I might be thanking my lucky stars that it's ending.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Damn, I friggin' love science!
I'm sorry to hear the bad news, Steph. I hope it all works itself out to your good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Steph, in searching for work-at-home stuff for myself, medical editors are in really high demand. Hopefully you won't have a hard time finding something else.

Thanks. I'm just reminding myself that it's 3 months of work, which is good, and in the meantime the AMA gig is ongoing and steady (if not full time), and I can keep looking for other stuff and/or figure out if I want to go back to a 9-5 office job.

Can I ask -- what places are you looking? I may be looking in the wrong places.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I actually signed up for a month at a site called FlexJobs, which focuses on telecommuting jobs and jobs with flexible schedules. I found a coupon that made the month $5, and I figured it was worth it. They basically curate the job listings and weed out the spam.
Obviously I don't know any details about your experience, so all of these job listings might not be relevant. If you decide you want to sign up for the site, let me know and I'll dig up that coupon code I used.

I have a feeling I will. I'm about to run out the door, but I'll check this out when I get back, and then I may shoot you an email. Thank you so much!

No problem.
I am super-grumpy girl, because I'm sick, and the interview I went to this morning was a 10-minute editing test. For which I drove half an hour each way.

Hey several of those jobs are for working in either my company or one just like it. Teppy, let me know if you want to chat, possibly about some keywords. Or get me a recruitment bonus. :)

So the giant bus crash in NorCal? One of the students who died (though he attends another high school now) was attending my school two years ago and last year I taught his younger brother.
Oof.
