I'm sitting in an office, with a large window, a couch, two computer monitors and privacy. Maybe that sounds weird when attempting to group all of the items into some sort of action but really it's just a description of my surroundings. Although, I could look at shirtless pictures of Colin Farrell all I want and no one would know.
I'm back at my old job freelancing for a few weeks. It's just temporary. But some important person is out so I get to sit in his office. This is what it's like? I've only had the pleasure of, gulp, cubicles. This is way better.
I've had two job interviews in the last week and a half. Which is pretty good, I think. One place in Minneapolis flew me out last week. Midwestern accents all over the place. Which is cool. But it's cold there. And then I had a videoconference with a place in Miami this week. If they liked me the next step is to fly me out and check out the office.
This whole unsteady employment thing does get old after a while. Bring on a contract – where do I sign?

Unemployment woes
I'm a jerk because I've failed to update this blog regularly. I'm sorry – to all three of you. Hi mom.
The Scotland thing didn't work out. At least I don't think so. I haven't heard officially about the job but I've got a hunch. Regardless, I don't think it's the best thing for me right now. You know how you don't know someone until you spend 24 hours a day with them? You know, for a whole week? No? Well, it's not fun. The partner I went with is cool but after all that time together I was ready to poke him into unconsciousness with a sharpened crayon. (I would have made that work somehow).
So I've been back for a while sending my book out and trying to make contacts. It feels like my full-time job for a long time now has been looking for a full-time job. It's probably the worst job to have - unless you can get the government to help out with unemployment. Which, of course, I'm not qualified for.
On the bright side, I spend most of my time in coffee shops with my laptop. Yes, it sounds boring but I love it.
