Boring on the Fourth of July
I went to a free Ryan Adams concert in Battery Park, and it was only so-so. Perhaps I was too far away. Then I walked through the street fair near the seaport, but apparently it was just ending because everyone was closing up shop. Watching a street fair be dismantled is depressing. Then I spent three hours sitting on the FDR and waiting for the fireworks. It passed very slowly because I didn't have the foresight to bring a magazine or anything to read. The fireworks were pretty bitchin' though.
Because some of you are more into politics than I am
My brother started a web site supporting Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards. Check it out and get involved.
Babies are cute, and their older siblings are even more entertaining
I went to Boston for my cousin Bridget's christening this weekend. There were two other babies getting baptized at the same service. All of the families had at least one other child under the age of three. While the babies and parents and godparents were up at the altar, all of these kids (especially my cousin Caitlin) kept running back and forth between the pews and their parents and playing in the baptismal fount. Plus there were about four cameras for every baby. Overall, it felt more like some sort of bizarre sporting event than a religious service.
Three interviews for the price of one
I went to a big b2b publisher today for an interview with an HR person about a production editor position. My appointment was at 11. I didn't leave the building until 2. First I interviewed with the HR lady and discovered I was interviewing for a position at a real estate magazine. Then I interviewed with the managing editor, who actually started as the production editor back in December. Then I took an editing test and a Quark test (sans computer if that makes any sense). Then the managing editor asked me if I had time to talk with Neil. Okay. (But who is the hell is he?) He's the executive editor there looking for a new assistant editor/reporter. They figured while I was there I should interview for both. Neil asked me questions such as "Why are you interested in real estate?" and "What business publications do you read?" Umm ... I'm not, and ... ah ... none. The more Neil told me about the job, the more it sounded like the Missourian but about real estate, the more I felt like vomiting.
Something else that makes me feel like vomiting
My Family Circle interview is tomorrow. I'm nervous.
