because it pays my bills



I have been informed that the same satellite radio station that employs Howard Stern and Martha Stewart has hired me as their copyeditor. Their *only* copyeditor. They are giving me a complimentary satellite radio to listen to all day long.

I wonder if some announcement on Mediabistro will appear? And I guess the copyediting class (remember the gunshots boom-boom-boom and strip club thump-thump-thump) paid off.

Also, one of the above-mentioned celebrities has also interviewed me for a copyediting position. I was really hoping that Conde Nast (read: Vogue!!! Vanity Fair!!!) would snag me first. Sorry, Ms. Wintour. I will be a little delayed. And then I will betray you by taking a job with Carine Roitfeld in Paris. Seriously, that's the plan.

A will be busy this summer, what with rowing, math, possibly fencing, and weekends in Boston, but I feel the ache of taking a day job. Meh.

Forgive me, but who are you, Jama? Do I know you?

Fencing is about as cool as wicked archery.

I'm helping at Cub Scout camp this week and we may not have archery this year. Sacrilege!

Boston is a very cool place to spend weekends!

Congrats on the job, too! (I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm a *teensy* bit jealous.)

My apologies to Jama for sounding slightly paranoid; I now know who you are.

BIG congrats to you, for the mega-cool job, and to A on his bar mitzah.
