Some days, just looking at the want ads is depressing.
Depressing as in, I took the wrong job fifteen years ago: everything interesting wants someone with years of acquisitions/development experience, and ideally authors she can bring with her. And the rest wants medical experience.
Depressing as in, do I have the energy to send a resume? (If not--and right now, I don't--bookmark it and send one if the job is still open in a couple of days.)
Depressing as in, if looking at this is tiring, how can I actually expect to have the energy to hold down a full-time job, with commute and all?
(Then I remember that most weeks, I'm not taking cough medicine to deal with the tail end of a cold that seems to have settled into my lungs, and that both the medicine and the disease are draining my energy. But knowing that isn't going to get a resume mailed, or even emailed.)
In the meantime, I've made good progress on the Turbo zine, and gotten an extension for AWA. It'll be all right.
