Following up on Wired, moving on with my life:

Well. They said they'd be getting back to people 'by the third week of October.'

It is now the first day of the fourth week. And its time for me to figure out what I'm doing with myself. I'm obviously going to keep on looking, and intensify my search, in my field. But... what else can I do? Well...

New Oh, and since I'm suspecting some of you don't know... Tutoring requires my going to someone else's home for an hour to 1.5 hours at a time and getting paid $20/hour. Teaching skating requires going to Yerba Buena or other specific skating rinks for hours at a time if I do a good job of building up a clientel, and getting paid at least $40/hour; it goes up to $70, and I haven't figured out yet how to value myself in the market here. So one involves lots of travelling and lower pay.

Dear Ms. Hillner,

I am writing to follow up on the internship positions I applied for last
week. In your email when you acknowledged the reception of my resume, you
said that final decisions for interview candidates and hires would be made
by the third week in October.

As it is now Monday of the fourth week in October, I wanted to contact you
and find out what the status of my application is, and make sure there isn't
any information you are missing or which you require for the completion
of my application.

If you would like to contact me, email is the most reliable method. During
the day I can also be reached at (phone number.

Thank you for your time!

Me,

OK. I'd heard of this last year, and I know some people who have done it. And I've decided I'm going to bite the bullet. Odds are I will be unemployed during November anyway. The signs are pointing at doing it! Besides, I had an idea for a novel the other day.

Who will join me?
I know feyandstrange is doing it!.
