any out of work locals feel like running a mini tv station?

Apply for this position. Be the person who makes my Distance Learning tapes for me. Earn eight pay levels more than I do ($4440/mo to start) and get an embarrassingly good benefits package. Be cool and technical and geeky. "Bachelor's degree in related field" is in minimum quals -- conveniently vague. Experience and savvy is probably much more important. Your boss, Marty Kahn, is cool and generally a nice dude. So are your co-workers Ed and Greg.

Also, please put a lot of Pez dispensers back in your office window like Sharon (the very cool person whose retirement has opened this position) used to have.

Please?

Me too. Tanks, laurel_tx.

I'm jumping into this meme:

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know?

How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'?

Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something EXTREMELY basic! I won't get even slightly irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.

I asked myself why I almost always try to make anything I write distill down into a drabble and got a surprising answer.

Partly it is just a thought exercise, and sometimes you hit on a better edit for something that you can keep. That is not the surprising part.

The surprising part part of the answer, and the bulk of it in fact, was "guilt/shame".

Ashamed at needing more words? Ashamed at wanting to? "You spend too much time thinking about this"? ("If only such people would apply their minds to, say, the depths of magical theory, he thought with chagrin.") Fear of reprisal for taking up too much of people's time? Fear of ridicule? (a lot of things in my life come down to that one.)

This reaction does not seem appropriate to the situation...

I think maybe I don't care about GJ. There's no one on my flist actually using it who isn't also posting on IJ or LJ, and the person who was the most posty has just decided to leave for IJ. I'd rather not have to keep up on so many separate things. Thus, seriously considering deleting it.
