As I sit here on my bed watching the Cubs game ("Christ, they're worse than they were last year," apologies to Bill Cosby), I realize I have some time to kill and decided to let all of you (*crickets*) know that I'm expanding my online presence by getting a LinkedIn account and a monster.com profile.
This may seem like I'm actively looking for a new job and, well, I am. I love Patch for the opportunity it gave me to get my foot in the door and do some "big boy" journalism, but I don't even know if I want to be a journalist for the rest of my career. I know I write well, and I think basic written communications are a valuable asset to any organization; I don't want to come off as a pompous ass, but after proofreading dozens and dozens of papers in all levels of school the low technical quality of most peoples' writing. Oh well, I shan't belabor the point.
Anyway, the story I was complaining about starting the other day actually came together swimmingly after a few more days of phone tag. Once my editor posts it on the site I'll encourage all of you to stop by and read it and tell me what you think. In the meantime, check out my LinkedIn and show it to all your hiring managers and HR people.
Oh, and help me figure out what I want to do with my life.
