I start this blog off with a wonderful quote from a dear and insightful friend. Yes, this quote is about men, but I believe dating and job searching are so closely aligned it's scary.

"...men are so strange..this guy was completely sweating me..wanting me to stay over & commented how nice I looked..etc. etc..then he flipped a complete 360.  he lost interest overnight.  go figure."

Did I lose the job at JWT in NYC? NOT YET. I'm still fighting. I talked to the recruiter today. She apologized for not getting back to me. They are reorganizing the creative department, trying to figure out where to put me, with what account, with what salary. I told her about my job search. It's the reason she called me--to not stop the job search, because this is going to take time. Maybe mid-September until they know anything. They still want to hire me. It's not over yet. Ugh, the agony.

I take it back. Job searching is worse than dating. At least when you date and never get a call again, you can just pretend that the guy died (see great "Sex in the City" episode where Miranda deals with men who don't call back, this way. Except in one episode, the guy did die after the first date and she has to go to his wake.)

J.W.T. Probably not an agency that will die any time soon.

That's the latest. Thanks for reading.
