I had wanted to do this to crack into the publishing biz, and while it doesn’t sound like the coolest gig, it’s also a good way to check out Boston while I’m at it… but then I gave up on the publishing gig, and it just sounded like a frivolous waste of time. However… now that I’m so into The Office, (I know you think you know where this is going, but it’s not) it’s reminding me of the moving to America dream I’d also abandoned for England, and Boston was back on the table, as well as writing, hence this. Only just now as I looked at the name again and refreshed my memory, did I notice the ‘Dunder Mifflin’ thing… which of course only makes it that much sweeter. :) Let’s see what happens.

Okay, I know this is cliche, but...

i just changed this goal
2 years ago
it used to be ‘Random House Associates Program’ but I applied & didn’t get it & I missed my boat – but that’s okay! :) I found out there are only 6 spots, and they treat you like a glorified intern anyway, so… the new goal is to work for Random House… someday. Go travel, do my thang, gain experience, and come back and apply for a real job that pays more than $33,5000, so I can actually afford a decent apartment in NYC – yeah baby! :) Here’s hoping it all works out. :)
i got accepted!!!
