Aug. 23rd, 2004 01:21 pmSo, my life. I quit Grassroots Campaigns, a decision which I partly documented in ( this unfinished lj entry. )
I'm leaving for a trip to visit my grandparents in Miami on Wednesday. Job search prospects are just really grim. I've been on the same sites so frequently that I've seen most of the jobs advertized. I did find a new job listing in which I'm interested in one of the sites that I visit less frequently. I'll apply to it, but my thoughts, and internet serfing, have generally revolved around (1) what sorts of grad school programs would lead to the sorts of jobs I'd like to have, (2) whether or not to start up Emily Organizes!(my father's name for my summer job as a personal assistant) again and (3)whether or not I want to move elsewhere when my lease expires. I have until September 30th to decide, but I have to be here (or else sublet) until the end of Novemember, which makes that potential job search difficult. If I do (2), there's the question of how much capital I want to sink into it, and if I actually want to start my own business. It would make sense to invest in some advertizements, maybe a cell phone, even more sense to invest in a car so I can travel into the outer suburbs. Alas, I have the time to see how all of these options play out.
I've been reading a very good novel, "Freedom & Necessity" by Steven Brust and Emma Bull. It's an epistolary historical fantasy novel with a great many references to Hegel and German philosophy. It's written in delicious fake nineteenth century prose. I'm not actually certain that anyone who reads my journal would like it except for Des, but I thought I should give it a shout out.
