From the Department of Useless Projects

I made a slideshow! Go me! It's here.

What I'll use it for, or why I need it, ghod knows, but, still -- a slideshow!

From the Department of Bemusement: My old (old, old) job is advertised in today's newspaper, only now the applicant must have a bachelor's degree in journalism. Ah, well...

It's a bright, beautiful, and breezy day; and I have not yet taken my walk, due to slideshow! Must remedy that...

Really, I must take the time to set up an LJ account and not be anon all the time.

Three minutes and you're in with a freebie account! Do it!

...look up someone you know at the old place (networking contact) to give you the "current situation" and help you get your res to the hiring manager.

This is good advice, but not as easy as it looks in this case. The people I worked with Back When have all been fired and/or early retired in past desperate attempts to save money and preserve the paper(s) (one in Waterville, one in Augusta, one in Portland)and keep them under local management. This failed, and all three papers are now owned by a newspaper company based in Seattle.

Three minutes for the form - a little longer to find a handle not taken, but worth it to no longer be "anon".

Sorry to hear the paper's story, so many companies have gone through similar gyrations. I've been with places that have gbeen sold and seen good teams scattered.

Hope your application for the part time job now turned full time pans out!
