So what do I have going on right now?
Well, the internship at Health and Fitness finished about 2 weeks ago. It was a definite success - 4 articles published in sequential issues with a 'Daniel Jamieson' tagline to show just who conjured up the magic.
I didn't get paid for any of it, but it's a double doozie because I really won't have to pay much taxes at the end of this fiscal flop. That's stupid though, actually. What I need most is health insurance, and so employment is going to be necessary quite soon. I'm trying to finish up the book but until that makes me a million I'll have to rely on my employer's health plan.
Boring.
So this morning I got a follow-up email from the Houston Astros, telling me that they now have more positions just opening, and encouraging me to apply. So I did. It'll probably be another unpaid internship, even if I get it, but working for the 'stros would be an awesome opportunity/experience. It screams "Costanza". I'm bursting Jerry, bursting. A huge organization with money out the yahzoo is something I need to be a part of. People will always watch sports, so teams will always make money, and thus they will always have jobs. Gimme the chance, Astros. I'll turn that operation around. We need another pennant. And another World Series sweep wouldn't hurt our confidence either.
The only reason I wouldn't get a job there (my resume is strong and my interviewing is excellent) would be that they might give the spots to bumbling, pimply college kids. Which I was but months ago, but I've grown.
Cross them fingers, boys and girls. Let's go get this minute made.
