so i'm grappling with a funemployment dilemma right now: in this desolate job market do i take whatever job comes my way or do i hold out for one with a boss who's not certifiably insane?
last week i blindly sent my resume in for an associate blog editor job (seeing as i'm now an expert. ha.). it turned out to be for the huffington post which i adore. but it also turned out to involve doing administrative tasks at the whim of arianna huffington herself. before this ever came up i'd had two people describe her as-in technical terms-"bat shit crazy". (one was her personal assistant for two years so i'm gonna go ahead and trust him on this.) i'm talking being her golden child one minute then getting ripped to shreds because you put the wrong sweetener in her coffee. or when she thinks it'd be a great idea to blog from mars, you find a way to do it because having to defy the laws of gravity is not an acceptable excuse not to.
so god knows blogging won't pay the bills for long but after the year of misery i just had i'm really at the point of choosing poverty over another year of dreading each morning and being the kind of person who actually wishes a mama cass-like death by sandwich on someone.
and since my original plan b had an unfortunate "flammable body glitter" incident (see day two's post) i'm going to apply at the new lululemon store that's opening around the corner. employee discount and free yoga classes? namaste, indeed!
