long-shot, but I'm going to be optimistic

This is officially a Productive Day: there was a job listing in my email this morning, from HotJobs, for something I actually want and think I could do: copy editing medical material. So I have tweaked my resume again, and sent it off with a cover letter.

So I can go to the gym later (I slept in, with help from Artemis, making a morning gym trip implausible) without feeling as though I'm slacking. The gym is easy, especially compared to job hunting--I can go whenever I want, and not worry about rejection.

I've realized over the past couple of years that I'm a pretty good proofreader, but not good enough for folks to pay money for. But I'm a really good copyeditor.

That said, teaching's where my heart is.

It's physically hard for me, but if there are schools that keep both my body and my heart happy, I'll go for them, and if there aren't, I'll poke around for copyediting work. :)

It was a productive day until I called!

I agree.
