Today I learned that I'm being laid off from my boring desk job, effective today with paid vacation and health coverage through the end of the month. How exciting. Secretly I'm very pleased!
So, this means I need a job... anybody hiring?

Layoffs are weird surprises. Although you're secretly happy about it, I'm sorry they did that to you.
So what line of work are you looking for? I'm sure our school needs a bellydancing teacher. We don't have a physical ed department, but we should.
that's the one good thing in a lay off, still getting some cash for a little breathing room.
good luck.
It seems to me that you've been just waiting for an opportunity like this. Shine up your video camera and hire a volunteer acting crew from the local acting school. Or dust off the old typewriter. Or mop the old recording studio and tune your guitar. Or - damn is there anything you're not excellent at?
You'll be just fine. But you know that.
Though we'll all miss the blogging when you actually start working.
Sic semper tyrannus. Another organizational blunder by an institution born under blunder stars. Well, you can't keep your finger in the dike forever. Hop in your boat and row to the bright coast.

Awesome. The EP release date has just moved up a month.

Depends. Feel like relocating? The weather here is a bit warmer than there. What sorts of jobs are you looking for?
Work I can do:
(Anything in)
Writing
Communications
Acting
Singing
Directing
BLOGGING
Yeah, this should be fun. I'm not worried. : )
do u have any real skills ... like fixing car transmissions, or some such?
My buddy in NYC just left Disney Theatrical Productions for a job with the Blue Man Group. How do you feel about full body paint?
I bet there's be an audience for a Pink Woman Group.

Sorry, I'm too close in the same situation.
This is a surprise. I suppose if nothing comes up you could move in with us for 10 months. It has worked for some.

srsjrik=k-sra's job really isn't known.
"Halfbakery Tour of America."
That's all I have to say about that.
hang in there, cleveland.
btw, the university circle arabica was useful to me during a couple moments of direction-changing

You probably aren't interested, but we have two drug rep openings that I know of...at least. They are in the Cleveland area...Having trouble filling the spots...
Otherwise, good luck finding something that makes you happy!
I think she'd be great in that position.
No offense, but somehow I don't think a reference means much from you, Anonymous.
Which makes me wonder how someone hiring a professional blogger gets references.

Then forget I said anything.
I feel like I should congratulate you, so I hope you don't think this is inappropriate...congratulations!
(and yes, I'm a little envious, too.)
Sara,
Sorry to hear the news about your layoff. Do you have anything planned?

Well, Kerry, I'm glad you asked. (Is this Kerry Kerry? From Phoenix Kerry?) I have assembled a veritable army of references and have slaughtered the internet with my formidable resume and am now posting letters to local institutions in response to job ads. It's been a busy morning. I have no interviews, but I am dressed up. (Pays to be ready.) Then at noon, I'm going out for a "business lunch" with friends.
Bummer! Sounds like you are okay with it, though.
I'm currently hiring a personal assistant. (It's really hard to be a grad student, I tell you.) I need someone to sort my paper clips for me and help me carry my Starbucks lattes. This person also must be able to inspire me when I need ideas for papers, carry my library books home, and finish typing my work when I go to bed. The pay is $2 an hour. If you want to relocate to DC, send me your resume!

I'm still looking myself, but my preferred target job involves hiring other people. I'll keep you in mind. (Though it would likely involve relocating to the Big Apple.)
come be a landscaper.

oh yeah.
congratz.
i wanna get fired now.
