“wait for the keeper”

18Jun09

I got a job offer.   In Vermont.

I had to turn it down!  Oy! I am so sad.  It was a great job, but it was part time and a girl does have to make a living.

After the multitudes of stressing I have expressed in this venue, I am so sorry to report this.  Finally, my very first job offer after graduation, and I had to tell them no.  I just can’t believe it.

My friend Phil told me I should think of job hunting like animal hunting.   Don’t shoot until you know you want to take it home.   Or, shoot everything, but only take home what you want?  Maybe…I don’t really get hunting.

In any case I don’t like to think of myself this way, but in some sense I am sitting up in a tree, gun pointed, waiting for the best specimen.  Here’s hoping.

(Thank God it’s not real hunting. Can you imagine? I could never be quiet that long!)
