Sunday Open Thread

[lannamichaels]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Sunday Open Thread! This is a weekly place for open discussion about how things are going right now.

And if you don't have anything going on right now you'd care to talk about, talk about whatever you'd like!

Btw, just want to remind everyone that you can make posts for anything you'd like. I'm just doing a Sunday thread for anything-goes. If you have a specific topic you'd like to discuss with the comm, please feel free to start a thread for it! That's what this comm is for. :)

I have no update, and 3 tabs open with jobs I need to apply to. It's really hard to get motivated, though. It's like "I could apply for this job and never hear anything, or I could do ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD, and at least doing anything else will yield a tangible result." *sighs* I will apply to them, though. Really.

Well, I finally heard back from That Job where I interviewed in January.
Thin envelope, three sentences including the name of the person they did hire. Postdated to April 19 (?!). It was bizarre.

Now I am running through a list of local colleges and universities and working on applying for all the 1-year Lecturer and Writing Fellow positions. A surprising number of schools in my region have April deadlines for these kinds of position. So I'm not done yet for the year.

But I wish I knew if, and where, I would be employed next year. I'm getting to the point where it would be useful to start planning if I'm moving out of my parents' house... and if so, where, and how much money will my partner and I be earning? Gah, life.
