With the Passover cleaning under control and mom's phantom stomach menance working itself out, I can turn attention to slightly better things. In this case, the latest job I applied for, am Editorial Assistant at The Getty Museum. I've applied there so many times, only to be rejected each time. They can't get rid of me that easily. I think I have a shot at this position because I can tick off the qualifications easily: degrees in art history and related subject, experience with online publishing, very familiar with the Chicago Manuel of Style. So, hoping for positive vibes. It's a part time job, which is okay with me because it'll give time to write and I can use it a springboard for a career in writing. I am, if nothing else, persistent with the Getty. I like being their and my impression of the people who work there is good. I haven't been there in awhile (hoping that changes) but I always feel relaxed and quite at home there. Maybe it's the hillside setting with the killer ocean view. Or it could be that I feel more at home in a museum setting. Regardless, I am determined to find an in somehow. The only kink in the matter is transportation-i.e getting to and from work. I would have to take the bus until I can afford car payments. I'm getting ahead of myself. I just have to get in the room and dazzle them. I just know it would be a great gig for me. We'll see. Right now I'm hungry and it's time to eat.
