One Good Turn Deserves Another

Leggo My Sandy Eggo

The title has nothing to do with this post. I just like that phrase. I don't really even know what it means. The picture does. So Justin has totally thrown me for a loop by announcing that there is job opening where he works and I should apply for it. Of course, he didn't really think I would take him seriously because it is in San Diego and I would have to like apply today and start working like right away but gosh almighty does it sound like a great idea to me right now. I could just move to san diego and have a job and get an apartment and do theater down there where the theater scene is pretty awsome rather than up here where it is fairly paltry and filled with people over 50 mostly.

Here is the job announcement: The Journal of the American College of Cardiology seeks Editorial Assistant to work in its scientific journal editorial office in San Diego. Entry level position involves working with online system in all phases of manuscript processing from submission to production. Attention to detail a must. Position also requires solid communication, time management and computer skills. Send resume to Glenn Collins at jaccsd@acc.org. EOE M/F/D/V

The funny thing is, I've always thought about getting into editorial stuff. I come from a family of editors and I was an english major but all my work experience has been in the medical field. I happen to work now in a cardiology office so my cardiology medical terminology is pretty good but I really don't enjoy having to talk to patients and answering phones constantly and all the other stuff that comes with a high patient contact medical office job. I think it would be good opportunity to try to break into a different field while still using all the stupid medical info I know now. I wish there was a magic button I could push that would move my life down to southern california so I could aggressively pursue this but I just don't think it is feasable right now. I am going to regret not trying to do it. Dammit. It isn't often that something lands in your lap that is so perfect. Also, not very many people know this but when Andy Feaster and I were living together and talking about long term plans and whatnots, we very seriously considered moving to San Diego. I wanted him to try to get into their masters program for directing because they have one of the bestin the country down there. I daydreamed about living in san diego for like a year and even looked at apartments on line and stuff. Anyway, I feel very conflicted about this.

I also turned 27 yesterday and so the idea of moving somewhere else and trying to become a real person in a big city is very appealing to me right now.
