"You say yes/ I say no/ You say stop/ I say go"

Ah the pitfalls of job hunting. There is a pretty awesome journalism site where all the job postings are by word of mouth. I found out about it thanks to my friend NE, so thanks NE. I've found a couple good ones but more often than not, I stumble across one where I think I can do this! I would be great at that! And then I keep reading and there is always a catch.

Exhibit A: Women's magazine needing an editorial assistant? In Atlanta!? Perfect for someone looking to break into the world of publishing? THAT'S ME! Oh it's for women who are not of my race so that'd probably be a strike against me.

Exhibit B: Blogger for Women's site. Okay! (Even though I still call myself a girl. Asked an Old Navy employee if they had any of the boyfriend sweaters left for girls. She said: Women or girls? I replied: I meant women. Doh!) And you can be in any location since it's done remotely? Awesome. A divorce blogger: Nooooo. A menopause blogger... definitely no. A debt blogger: Sorta maybe kinda. Must be 35-50. Yeah, no.

And a ton of the jobs are in NY. Oh if I only I had the guts to move there. But, nope.

UGH. And why do people ask you questions why you clearly have earbuds in? And then don't wait for you to pause your music and instead ask you over and over until you respond. Then I feel bad but seriously!
