It is with great sadness that I must announce the death of a dear and treasured member of the Plooble family, the Job Search Theme. For those of you who have come to know and love it, I share in your grief. It has been a major part – perhaps the heart and soul – of Fistful of Plooble since the beginning, and it will be missed.
In other words, I am no longer unemployed. Starting Wednesday, I will be a Vision Guidance Leader at Huhcorp.
Okay, not really (although I’ve applied at companies that seem to share the same ethos). I will be working as an editor for a company that publishes a wide variety of newsletters on topics including health care, finance and the law. Someone will once again be paying me to write, and to write things that don’t require the use of the words “extensible” or “functionality.” As you can imagine, I’m pretty happy about that (although I am sure there are unexplored countries of jargon I am yet to visit).
It looks like a pretty cool place with a lot of creative people, and I’m very excited about working for a company that values writing above all. Everyone I’ve met seems to like each other and like being there, and last Friday night in Hell I ran into a group of my soon-to-be fellow editors, including the managing editor who interviewed me. It’s not every day that I get to list “having a drink named after me” as a relevant job qualification. I’m sure it sealed the deal.
Job Search is survived by Found Absurdity, Fun With Words, Car Geekery, and the twins, Bitchin’ & Moanin’, who ask that you send wrinkle-resistant khakis in lieu of flowers.
