Back in New York for almost two weeks now, and I have one job and leads on others. Surprisingly, none of my good leads have come from expected fronts, like temp agencies or Apple. Also surprisingly, the Javitz Center hired me on the spot. And Emily too. Look at us and our bad selves

Forgive the copious amounts of quotations, and, though I don't intend this to read like an email response, I miss you and can't help myself right now.

Back in New York for almost two weeks now, and I have one job and leads on others. Surprisingly, none of my good leads have come from expected fronts, like temp agencies or Apple. Also surprisingly, the Javitz Center hired me on the spot. And Emily too. Look at us and our bad selves.

Yay! Congratulations! Also, I must admit I am not at all surprised that the good leads did not come from expected sources. That's usually what makes good leads good.

It's very hard to, for example, go home and write a short story, or have a tumultuous night out with your friends, when your brain is currently fried in an oil of complex similes.I. Agree. One. Hundred. Percent. Strongly. Frankly, I am strongly considering just getting a menial job myself. I have long since denounced that sort of thing for myself because I thought it meant a sort of failure, but it's a funny thing what success will do to you
