The Job That I Would Do Practically Anything For

Not too much to talk about at all this week...things are pretty dull.

Tuesay night I was scheduled to work, hauled ass to get there on time only to be told that they didn't really need me. I was both thrilled for this Get Out of Jail Free card and annoyed that they couldn't have called me and saved me the aggravation. I think I spent the rest of the night chatting on the phone with a friend from college, puttering around the house, and generally feeling restless.

Wednesday I worked both jobs, made a hell of a lot of cash for a Wednesday night.

Yesterday I discovered who my new supervisor is at the day job. I'm relieved to discover that he's an attorney that I used to work with, and though he has some qualities that are less than desirable, at least I know how to handle him. It could've been much worse. Last night I didn't do much of anything. Went to the bank after work, read a book at home, the excitement continued.

Today my restlessness and inability to concentrate on anything continue. I'll be working tonight and tomorrow night, Sunday off. I have plans to meet a friend after work on Saturday, and am just hoping that I get out at a reasonable hour. Since I actually have plans, I'll probably be there until 2 am. That's just my luck.

I have, however, settled on The Job That I Would Do Practically Anything For. Actually, not even the job, but the place. I'm surprised I haven't seriously considered it before. Of course, I'm known for routinely changing my mind about what I want to do with me life, and fear that I'll wake up at 50 and still be editing at this shithole and waitressing someplace else. I've considered everything under the sun...but this place? I could work there. I could do amazing things there.

The only problem is that they aren't hiring. The website says that they take resumes all year and save them for future openings. So should I send them one and sit tight? Should I send them one every few months? Should I call and talk to HR? I'm not really sure how to procede with this one, but I have a feeling that I'd need to be persistent. I have a feeling thousands of people apply at this place every year. When I look into the types of jobs that they could have available, I know that I'm qualified for MANY of them, I have some great experience. Of course, I would seriously consider answering phones or making coffee just to get in the door. I'd work for minimum wage...I'd live under a bridge. That's how badly I want to work there.

Right now I'm polishing up the resume and have a kick-ass cover letter in the works. It's been awhile since I've done this. Here's hoping.

The vacation is three weeks away. It can't come soon enough. I'm getting a little bit burned out.
