As some of you know, I spent most of last fall looking for a new job. No one wanted me so, discouraged, I gave up the hunt. A month or so ago, one of my good friends (and former coworker) called me and asked if I would be interested in some part-time work. I, of course, said yes. It all took a while to go through, but I had an interview last week and I should start my new job next week!
What am I doing, you ask? Why, I'm back at LabCorp, working in the micro department! Just like the good old days. I'm pretty excited about working there again; I love me some micro! They didn't seem to think I'd need much training, even though I've been gone for seven years, they have some new automation, and I'll be entering my own results in their computer system, which I don't know. So I'll be working Sundays and Monday evenings, with the possibility of picking up another night or two (as my tired, old, worn out body can take it!).
Another bit of potentially good news is that I was invited to submit my cockroach story to Tangent, a literary magazine! I submitted it but not sure what's the next step. If they want to publish my story and that's it, I'll be happy and buy a couple of copies. If they only want my story to get money out of me, they can piss up a rope! Does anyone know how these things work?




how freaking cool!! i'm so excited for you! :) perhaps this job will turn into full time! wouldn't that be sweet!! and big ol pat on the back about your cockroach story!! i need to go read that! as a matter of fact, i need to go read a bunch of your goodies! especially before you get all famous and stuff. then i can say, yep i read that before it was published! ;) good luck! not that you need it! your style is golden baby! :D i know absolutely nothin about publishing sorry. wish i could help. (((hugs))) and astral high-fives!!~
