Job Hopes Redux and More Kooky Capital Punishment Poem
I know my five readers are not keeping track of the jobs I've been applying for and hoping for, but the last job I didn't get I'm hoping for the job of the guy who did get it. Today I told the lady who I would be working for I was going to apply for the job and she squealed and clapped her hands. There are a lot of things about women I don't understand but I think that was good.
There is also another place I would like to work that would pretty much be my dream job in Raleigh. My advisor had told me to call this lady and see if she had any part-time work. I put it off, its a state agency and its not like they just have jobs or money laying around. I had met this lady last summer and did a book review for her so I was not calling totally cold. Once we figured out who I was, she said "Someone just left...." and went on to describe a wonderful job that I could actually do. Of course we need to see if the job actually gets posted and that is a big if with all the state budget problems. But she sounded positive about my interest and took my email address and said she'd keep me posted. I might go ahead and send a follow-up letter and a resume just so she can see it when its not one of 50 piled on her desk.
All the above is more positive job stuff than has happened in the last six months.
Kooky God-Inspired Poetry:
In yesterday's post I talked about a wacky anti-capital punishment poem I had found in the archives. It is six pages and I haven't read the whole thing and probably never will. But I was looking at it this morning and found she had saved the best stuff for last. So here's my final quote from The Kooky Capital Punishment Poem. It'll serve as The Quote of the Day also.
Would you like to know, The Minute and the Hour,
You Would Hear the Current,
Come Singing Through the Electric-Wires To Close Your Eyes In "DEATH"?
--- A Shall Remain Anonymous Lady to Gov. Ehringhaus, August 16, 1933.
