Ahahahahah

M just sent me this hilarious chat transcript.

If there were a geek equivalent of the Darwin award, this guy would get it.

Just mostly for my own notes: I got back two of my grades; just waiting on the seminar one now.

If it goes as I expect, I'll probably end up with about a 3.38-3.4 overall, and a 3.68-3.7 in the department.

Not bad, I think. That stupid jazz class I took last term kind of screwed me on the overall GPA, which may affect me if I ever decide to do grad school. But that's a long way off if I do it at all, so I'm not going to stress.

My resume on Monster has gotten a couple of hits. There are also a couple of jobs there I like the look of, but I'm going to hold out for something better. I need to remember that just because I'm more or less qualified for a job doesn't mean I should really take it.

Back when I was doing the "job" thing before, I would just take whatever I could do that paid well. Now that I'm in "career" mode, I need to think it through a little more carefully. Just because I'm (sorta) qualified to take that Web Content Producer job at a travel company doesn't mean that's where I'd be happy in the long term. I really want a journalism job--not just doing writing or web work for some non-media company.

I feel fortunate that I can wait, but I do think that after a couple of months of this, I'll probably start feeling guilty for being a sponge--especially if I can't do the kid thing, either. If I don't have that dream job by then, I probably will take something I can do. Or I may just spend a few weeks taking a technical writing class and go do contract work in that. The pay's good and I can certainly do it, and it would be a good way to make a few bucks while I'm waiting for the Brenda Starr gigs to come along.
