animated gifs always make me feel just the slightest bit better. I know that's weird. So double thanks. :)

I had no idea you live near me. Are you in Boston proper? What kind of work are you looking for?

Haha, crazy, everyone lives in Boston! I'm actually in Somerville along the redline.

To be honest, i'm looking for anything. I have experience with nannying, baristaing at Starbucks, public relations and community management for a video game company and then design consultation for a video game company. I've been applying to a lot of random stuff but also a lot of like admin assistant jobs. I also was a content writer and editor for a while, but I"m actually not wanting to do that professionally since it was killing me love for writing . . . I don't mind writing and editing for a non-content-creation company, though. I'm also currently a social media marketer for a hotel in Belize, but it's like a super part time job that just pays in timeshare, now in money. :/

Are you in Boston proper? This is so weird. Why did I think everyone I follow was scattered around the world? Apparently we all live in Boston, lol.

Lol, this happens to me all the time. I think everyone is far away and then I find out they're not. Irony is I almost never meet them. Oh well.

I live in Salem but I work in Cambridge on the red line. Have you considered moving to a cheaper place?

And do you happen to have an online resume? Like on Linkedin or something? I can help put the word out if you want though most of my contacts are in the publishing industry.

Sorry, my reply for this apparently didn't post.

We've discussed looking for a cheaper place but it's complicated by us having a dog and not really being able to afford to move, either. I know in the long run a move saves money but you have to pay a lot of front. Plus the apartment is just so nice and big . . . But it's definitely something we've talked about.

I'm on Linkedin! http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jessa-brezinski/2a/8a8/314 I'd be totally happy to find a job in the publishing industry if you know anyone who's hiring -- my BFA is actually in Writing, Literature and Publishing. :) I'm grateful for any positions you can think of. Thanks so much!

Ohh ladyy... I hate living at home. Hate it. I want to leave. Don't go home. I also sometimes hate that I went to an expensive school and am now stuck living at home because I can't afford an apartment of my own--but I loved Emerson. And I know it's helping me in my career. So it's hard to tell if expensive school was a bad decision.

But I wouldn't know you! And there would have been no Kasteel Well! And I miss you. And if you do go back to Texas I need to come see you first!
