What Doesn't Kill You...yada yada yada...

So as most everyone knows that I am not content with my current job situation (to say the very possible least). So I've been applying and interviewing for various magazine/online editing positions on the fly. Today, my 3 weeks worth of schmoozing, interviewing, writing thank you notes, and going in for second interviews (!) all came crashing down when I received THREE (count 'em 3)rejection emails TODAY. In one day. Fabulous. What really chaps my proverbial hide is the fact that one of the positions was a very coushy gig as an associate producer for the Love and Sex portion of a fairly reputable online source (ahem, ivillage). And the interview went great, despite the fact that I've never worked for a web site before. However, the "boss"/interviewer admitted to me that she was from the South and fairly sexually conservative and that she experiences a lot of "eww-factor" w/her job rating vibrators and discussing transvestites all day long. Oh poor pitiful her! This was revealed to me AFTER i devulged my love for all things sexual (toy collection and all). I thought a broad running a Love & Sex site would have at least a little spunk. Hardly. She was wearing a pearl necklace, and not the kind you would think of a woman who reviews porn and tests dildos all day long. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I'd be perfect for that fucking job.

dude, screw them and their conservative sex columnist. make your own blog for stuff like that (or just use this one for it)! you could make it great, get it attention on the net and then get google ads, and go the way of the Belle girl with a book and stuff, just not about uppity southern conservatives.
