Unfortunately, looking at several job websites and not finding anything that suits takes as long as looking there and finding something that does. (Possibly longer: if I'd found things early, I wouldn't have taken the time to read as many long-shots.) So that was discouraging. Does it count as networking if, the third or fourth time someone random popped up on my chat client, I answered his "tsup" with "still jobhunting, do you know anyone looking for an editor or proofreader, in the New York City area or remotely?" (He didn't: I now know, in addition to the fact that he claims to have seen me on LJ in some feminist context, that he isn't in the U.S.) On the other hand, as I noted to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle, at least I can do it from home, with my teakettle handy (and, at the moment I said that, with a cat in my lap).
The plants are starting to show fall colors. Starting. The maple in front of our building that always changes early is now noticeably red, though there's a lot of green even there. I saw one bright-red Virginia creeper, growing on a small tree whose leaves have turned yellow. But the lawns are still bright green, with flowers on the clover, and morning glory vines and goldenrod. So, not only an early spring this year, but a late fall. (The apple crop has been disappointing in quality as well as, I gather, quantity.)
