There’s this paper in Searcy, Arkansas called the Daily Citizen. The small daily was recently stripped down and rebuilt by a publisher who said he got sick of being the laughing stock of the small, college town just north of Little Rock. Well back in the spring the new editor wanted a news editor, and emailed me to see if I was interested. I declined then because my job here was too secure, especially with EB moving home just a short time later. Well since that all fell through, this guy has emailed me twice, asking to see if I’m interested in reporter positions that have opened up. The last one was for a general assignment writer, this one for a government reporter. The government reporter slot is too tempting. I don’t know what it pays, but I’m going to send my stuff anyway, just to see.

So that begs the question, what the hell is going on with me? Why do I, of all people, keep getting inquiries for jobs when, in all honesty, I’m not really looking. My resume is out there, but that’s it. I’m not out seeking anything, they keep coming to me. I honestly don’t think I’m that good, yet the inquiries pour in at a clip of one or two per week. This should make me feel good, but it doesn’t. I don’t think I deserve to be sought out. That aside, I’ll be applying for that job in Arkansas along with the editor slot at the paper in Allentown, Penn. that I was contacted about Wednesday.

You can obviously see that I have a very heightened sense of self right now, can’t you? Girls can have that affect on a guy.
