i arrived this morning, ten minutes early, with the newspapers (it's my week to do the papers again. my god, the pressure. i hope i can perform), only to find out that my kindergarden class cancelled on me. something about it being too cold and it's actually illegal to make small children walk outside in this weather. i'm a little relieved because i wasn't in the mood for them. next week i have the 2 and 3 year olds coming, must prepare!
anyway, the big news today is that last night i got a call from a very reputable television network that is interesting in meeting little old me to be one of their librarians. yay! that makes two job interviews that i have coming up!
so i'm feeling pretty good about that. then, when i checked my email i got an email from monster.com saying that they found a job prospect for me. well, who can argue with monster.com?! i'm sure they know what's best for me. so i read the e-mail and it is for this job at cornell. don't get excited! that's what they want you to do! i have seen this job listed for almost a year now. why? (stop me if you've heard this one) because if you read the fine print you will see that this job is not at the cornell campus here in gotham. nor is it for the cornell campus upstate. oh no, this job is in qatar! but they don't tell you that right away. you have to read the entire job description and list of necessary qualifications and then finally at the end, just a little aside, oh by the way we forgot to mention, hope it isn't an inconveniece, this job is in qatar! yeah, i think i'll stick to my own job searches thankyou.

Qatar-hmmmm.... You could make a big splash over there. And you'd be quite the Fashionista. Just to be shocking, when I come to visit, I'll wear my fishnets - so we can be a mother/daugher librarian duo who will knock their socks off. Either, that, or we'll be arrested and executed, together. maybe you should stick to looking for a job in the states. love, mom
I don't even think that's a real country. Maybe it's a neighborhood in NYC that's been recently named. I mean, there's not even a U after the Q! It can't be a country...
i'm pretty sure qatar is slightly east of east williamsburg.
hello could not, would not, in qatar...please tell me you are still there...i am on my way...now sit down for this one...on my way to the real country without a "u" of qatar...my husband will be working there for one to two years...tell me about the job...and come on over and visit with me...bring your mom too!...jennifer
sorry jennifer ... neither me, nor my mother, have ever been to qatar. but i wish you and your husband good luck!
