Blogger Gets Busy

Okay, lots of activity to report from Latent Print.
Can we do it as a list? Sure, we can do it as a list.
1. A story idea this morning for a local, weekly magazine column I thought was beyond my expertise. The rationale for my return East, you can read something about it here, has been on my mind. A first-person relationship reflection in the Sunday paper seems like a natural forum for this. Dontcha think? Stay tuned, it's all good, uplifting, perhaps. Sounds like a crossword clue.
2. An on-site assignment for next week in today from a rep at this creative agency popular with Latent Print. The rep says, "It is so nice to have clients specifically ask for you back. You always do an excellent job and we appreciate it more than you know." No, thank you.
3. I'm eager to apply for this local radio station's Production Assistant gig on the morning news broadcast. The job runs 4-noon. Bargaining my sanity or independent schedule? I'll let you know.
4. From the sales patriarch at Seattle wine-gift company I learned that boozing on the job is a disease, Punjabi snacks and sweets are delicious, and no eventually means yes. The advice realtes relates to a rejection e-mail earlier this week from this freelance proofreading prospect. The e-mail reads, "We are currently all set" ... to hire me later? Prospecting follow-up scheduled. Ever grateful for the training, Vasantji.
5. And, today, I responded to a craigslist ad to write for this travel blog brand branching to New England. Let's see. Frequent traveler, loves people and places, adventure and relaxation, I'm fit for it.

Finally, thanks for encouraging words from Susan and Cooke Harvey.
