I don't get it

I'd about reached the point of deciding to send off a resume for anything headhunter.com emailed me, even if I was sure I wasn't qualified--a combination of "it can't hurt" and proving I'm still looking, in case the state Dept. of Labor asks.

So, this morning, there was one job posting: for a Cobol/Unisys programmer somewhere in Connecticut. I have no idea how a search for editorial work in New York City produced that. But I'm not sending them my resume.

fixing things up

The official "I did something useful today" for this rainy Thursday is that I finally replaced two buttons on my favorite cardigan, the one that compacts to almost nothing and is thus perfect for days when I might not need one, or as an extra layer under a jacket.

And now I'm doing housecleaning stuff over on Wikipedia, removing the equivalent of a spraypainted "SANE SMITH" and doing my best to keep this particular vandal from coming back. At molasses-crawl server speeds.

Before I got sysop status, I was tidying, but as a copyeditor--spelling and grammar, sometimes broader rewrites. And when I felt like it. Having sysop, I seem to spend more time looking for potentially dubious pages, and less having fun. Must think about this.
