Got my phone interview this afternoon. So far, nervous, but not of the twitching, shivering variety. I also got a call from a different head hunter for a business analyst position for, again, a similar salary range as my previous position, and again, they're local so I wouldn't have to commute downtown. That helps mitigate some of the anxiety as it seems there are multiple job opportunities for the sort of work I do in the area. If I screw this interview up, I'll have other options. It gives me the luxury of being able to evaluate the company this afternoon as well as being evaluated by them.
It does appear that the head hunters have found me. Yay? Again, pleased to be getting calls, but ambivalent about returning to a 9-5 cubicle-monkey position. But if that's what it takes to put food on the table (or more to the point, keep my health benefits), then I better suck it up and resign myself to being a corporate drone. Again. Being a responsible grown-up has its downers.

Words: Rewrite of folktale going well. Pair of passes and I'm pretty pleased with it. Going to give it another spit shine, and then package it up to Cricket. I've received so many critiques from Critters on this one that it blows my stats figuring to hell. Generally the story was quite well received. It made one reviewer cry, which surprised me because I didn't think it was as emotionally wrenching as some of my other works, but I'm always delighted when I evoke such a heartfelt response.
And I'm very excited that
