today in 'things no one cares about'
Currently I have nine resumes out, with a tenth listing for which I have to drum up letters of recommendation, so I'm dragging my heels. (Seriously, City College? It's 2013. An email address should be enough.) I started to get confused so I had to make a list of where I've applied and when just so I know. I have an account at CUNY now and everything.
One of the openings I applied for today is at a large Episcopal church in Manhattan. I'm not exactly qualified (they really want a music librarian) and they might not want to pay me what I'm asking (though I know they can afford it) but I figured it was worth a shot. My dad doesn't know anyone there, unfortunately (and my mom knows someone who would definitely stop me from getting so much as a 'thanks but no thanks' if they found out I knew her) but I managed to get 'my dad's a minister' into my cover letter anyway, just in case it helps.
Naturally there is tons of work to be done here at my current job, but I'm not feeling all that motivated. It's just so boring. So it's a good thing I just applied for an open ILL position in the CUNY system.
Of course the chances of anyone calling are still slim, considering how far away I am, but I figure I will wear them down eventually. It's only a matter of time. And my dad's coming around to the idea of me moving, which is helpful, since I'm going to need him to help out with getting my house ready to sell. I'm fine with just walking away from it at this point; there's no way I'm going to make any money, so as long as I don't take a huge loss I don't care. The real estate market is just not for me, let's face it.
I need to start writing again. While I am officially Done With Fan Fiction, I do have ideas for original stuff. I'll get on it one of these days.
