Maybe Jobs Do Fall from the Sky After All?

Went to school. Taught eighth graders basic Trigonometry. Attempted to drill in their heads the properties of 30-60-90 degree triangles. Taught seventh graders how to write a skit about gambling and cheating at poker (I kid you not). Went home. Cleaned the kitchen. Took a nap.

Woke up at 6:30 and turned on my computer, and sitting in my Inbox is a JOB OFFER! Well, not really, but a possible part-time job stint.


The e-mail reads:
Hally, are you available for a two-day a week temp copy-editing job for the next two or three months (April through early to mid June)? It's at Publishers Weekly and is straight copy editing. If you are interested, please e-mail a resume to (name taken out for privacy) at (e-mail address taken out for privacy), and tell her you're one of my students.


Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity to earn a few extra bucks some editing experience. I'm reeeally hoping I get this. *crosses fingers*
