These Days
My last day in New York was great. I got brunch in Brooklyn with Posie and then had last minute tea with K-bot on the Upper West Side. It's really neat to hear about all the cool stuff my fellow recent grads are doing.
I got back to Portland very early Wednesday morning, and I've been busy as hell since then. I got called back for an interview with Tin House to be one of their readers. They hired me right at the end of the interview. It was a major confidence boost and a huge relief. The position is unpaid, but it's five extremely flexible hours a week. Not only is it easy to work this job around another paid job, but I can continue to do the job remotely if I move out of state. It's pretty much the perfect internship-style job for me.
I'll be assigned 25 pieces of short prose from the unsolicited manuscript pile every two weeks. I'll read the stories, take a few notes, and then forward my 2-4 favorites to the editors for them to look at. I'm really excited to be part of the selection process.
Tomorrow I have an interview to be an English SAT I & II test prep teacher out in Beaverton. Next week I'm interviewing at Noodles & Co. downtown to see if I can sling sauce for a living.
Things are definitely looking up.
