Seriously, there are some days when it feels that futile, and no ‘Pop, goes the weasel’ at the end.

I have been stalking friends on LinkedIn… ok not quite, but kind of… to track down connections, to initiate introductions, to pursue dream jobs of a sort.  So, if you have been on the receiving end, you are not alone.

My day was a series of check lists:  Wrote several cover letters today and sent them out, check.  Bought more hangers, check.  Picked up dry cleaning, check.  Bought birthday gift, check.  Harangued a poor friend to pick up my mail – sorry poor friend -, check!  And, practiced my French, check!

Came across an op-ed piece about a young woman in a similar situation to mine… thought about being frustrated that she had written it instead of me.  Then thought – it’s probably cute and sweet coming from a 25-year-old, probably pathetic from a 40-something.

So instead, I cleaned up an article I wrote about fracking, and sent that to my editors.  I have been keeping them busy on the proof reading and editing front… sadly it has been primarily on the cover letter creation front.

With vacuuming and Dancing on the Stars on my horizon, it’s a wild and wacky Monday night in my near future!

As ever,
