Even-Steven

Right on the heels of that small, unexpected windfall (see previous post) comes a highly unanticipated splotch of red on the ledger: the part-time copyediting job that was supposed to be my financial safety net when I returned to Austin will not be available until November, if at all. Oh.

Well, shit.

Hmm... Let's pretend that I'm a middle class Winston Churchill — you know, minus the wars and aristocracy and all that — and I believe I'm destined for greatness. The proper way to view all this is that it's a gentle nudge from the forces that be to try to make a living doing something I enjoy, right? As opposed to, say, looking at it as a life without health insurance?

Ugh.

Okay, new game: Post you favorite part-time job listing in comments! Free Flickr pro account for anyone who finds me work.
