After months of searching, with increasing desperation* and hopelessness**, I have landed myself a job, and a job that I'm interested in and qualified for, to boot!
I shall, at long last, be a union organizer! In the Pacific Northwest! I guess it's time to finally read "Sometimes a Great Notion."
I'll be working with nurses, which is great because I have tremendous respect and empathy for nurses, and if any group of working people on earth deserves a better deal than nurses, I don't know who they are. Previously, I was working at a union for construction workers, who are somewhat harder to have sympathy for, as a whole.
So... yay! Hopefully, this development will re-ignite my creative wellspring, which withered somewhat dramatically during my long employment drought.
* so desperate was I at points that I started a business plan for an escort service.
** so hopeless was I at points that I contemplated moving back to Chicago. !!
