bah
i feel a bit frozen. both figuratively and literally. (ha;).
inside jokes don't belong here i suppose.
whatever. best word of this century. WHATEVER.
that is how i feel about my job prospects currently. dear president obama, please find me a job. i will buy things like fancy clothes and multiple belts and purses, and maybe a car for funsies. no, i won't buy a car, but i'll rent a car for a homeless child--a minority one--and we'll stimulate the economy and spread the wealth. but first, i'll definitely need that job.
why isn't the academic market more protected than this? i thought i could shun academia one day and feel puffed with pride and such. ha ha! i eschew your tenure and monastic existence! instead, academia shunned me this year and it kinda hurt. mainly my ego, i guess, but it's hard to ignore ego pain. it's not like pulling a tooth.
oh, and obama claus, i would also like you to forgive my student loan debt. actually, you could choose--a job or loan forgiveness. either will work. or let me declare bankruptcy on student loans. that'd be swell. stupid doctors.
elsewise, i'm realizing more and more that i might be defective. like when i'm cold if you offered me a blanket i'd wonder why. don't you want the blanket? is there a better blanket upstairs in the closet? why do i care about the hypothetical blanket upstairs when there is absolutely nothing wrong with this blanket anyway? i even like this blanket. and i was cold. and it was very kind of you to give it to me. i promise to try to wrap it around myself, i promise to try. dear president obama, please give me a catalogue of all possible blankets.

They are about to have a policy in place, if they don't already, that forgives your student loans if you work for a non-profit. I would have paid more attention to it if it were info I could use...meanwhile, go pick one that can use your very expensive talents and go volunteer for a short term project. You'll feel useful and get something new on your resume.
