Who said anything about showers?

As I get older, my personal job requirements are changing. They used to be things like: a 401K, a decent salary, an office. Now, it seems I look for jobs where I am not required to bathe and I do not receive large paychecks. Oh, the things you learn. Let me share with you an email chain between a friend of mine and myself:

I know, right? Got a gig at [deleted content] magazine - should be interesting. I'm excited cause it's half-time (20 hrs/week with health insurance...score!), so I'm working 2 days in the office and the rest at home. The rest of the time I'll be freelancing...it's gonna be perfect. Or, I'll be really broke. Either way, I'm excited.

That is super great. Internet hi-five! Nice to hear you can still avoid showers if you so desire.

There's little left to want in a world where a lady gets both a dog and a camera.

Chronicles of a Quitter: Part 1

Making life choices seems like a pretty big deal, and for the most part, it is. What you do today has a direct correlation to what you'll be doing tomorrow, and there's simply no way around that. Recently, I made a rather large career choice: I quit my job. (Although whenever I say this to prospective employers I use the word "resigned," you know, so they think I'm a professional quitter.)

Since then, I've been applying to jobs, going on interviews, taking photographs, hitting up all of SF's finest iconic spots and watching all of my favorite movies. Along the way, I've also got some really great rejection letters. I won't bore you with all of them; however, here are a couple of snippets that made me smile.

I've never been told I have sleuthing abilities before.
"Your enthusiasm and sleuthing abilities are impressive. Unfortunately, your timing was a little off: I’m afraid we’ve decided to hire someone else for the position."

So, you're happy with your choice?
"You all made it very difficult for us to narrow down the field to just one person. At this time, we have filled the position. However, it is very likely that we will be hiring an additional Social Media Blogger in 30 days."
