As everyone knows, I'm still jobless. Which I think sounds better than unemployed. At least it doesn't have the same negative connotations that I've long associated with "unemployed" - you know, like begging for bread and homelessness and being a crack-addict. Well, I suppose homelessness wouldn't be terrible.
anyway...
I just wrote a cover letter for Rosetta Stone, and Kyle V. is going to talk to a Sr. Writer in that Department for me tomorrow so that I can hopefully bypass the inHuman Resourceless Department and get a job sooner rather than never. What surprised me was how fun it was to write this cover letter. I mean, I sound really damn good. Who wouldn't want to hire Thomas Eric Gregory to do anything that involves writing and varying types of media mixed with a healthy dose of foreign language? Answer: NO ONE. Because I look that good on paper (or at least when I write it on paper).
I don't have any huge thoughts about pride coming before the fall or about the corporate world relying first on one's image of oneself before determining the necessity for a further phone/in-house interview. I just wanted to share that it's been really stressful today and I finally feel like I accomplished something.
See you Wednesday if not before!

I forgot to tell you Sunday-- but I talked both with my boss and with HR, so they are definitely aware of who you are. I also got a card from Jamie Calcagno-- definitely call her.
Funny thing was, I went up and she was like, "Is your friend's first name 'Thomas'?" And I was like, "Uh... I don't think so. Maybe..." ;)
