where are you?
you fail me
i failed
i should write
Fs on all of my fingers
because i've run dry
run out
run empty
empty
hollow
words
where are you?
no answer
This evening I received an email from one of the jobs I applied for in Boston (the environmental activist-y job) asking me to fill out this internet survey. The questions were like, "Why should we hire you?" and "What issue are you passionate about and why?" and "What would you do for this cause if you had a sizable income?" and "What is your ideal salary?" I hate questions like that, especially the last one, because I spend so much freaking time trying to think of how they want me to answer that I forget if I'm writing the truth or not. I under-asked for salary, though. I never know what to say to non-profits.
Today was one of those days when I really felt like there were no words in my head, my mouth, my hands. Information was coming in and being processed, but not going back out. I long to write again, but that would require silly things like discipline. Instead, I spent the evening making googly girly goo-goo eyes at Animal. It seemed like she looked at me every time she mouthed the words "best cock on the block." Aaah, as if.
p.s. Happy anniversary to Patti and Scott, happy birthdays to Lexypants and Pajama Jones, and big hugs to my Sarah Sarah.

But they seemed to really enjoy performing together, and while I understand that they want to do solo stuff, they just seem so made for each other, you know? :)

I never know what to say about salary requirements.
Sometimes I feel like I should just send them a basic cost-of-living list:
"Just this and maybe a little more, pwease?"

Date: 2004-03-23 03:00 pm (UTC)I'm right there with you about hating those salary questions. I always feel like I have to give my general schpiel about being a minimalist and an anti-capitalist, and that I really just want enough to pay all of my bills with a little left over for fun every once in a while... but I think that makes me sound like a big dork. A big dork who is chronically underpaid. ;)
Hey, what's the chances of me seeing you and the Greek before I boogie out of the Midwest?
