Catsitting, you say? Very clever. And, if I weren't allergic, I might seriously consider it. Right now, it looks like "temping" is going to be the way out in the short term. Fingers crossed that a fabulous job comes my way soon!! Stolie Hi Rachel,

Welcome to the blog!! Catsitting, you say? Very clever. And, if I weren’t allergic, I might seriously consider it.

Right now, it looks like “temping” is going to be the way out in the short term. Fingers crossed that a fabulous job comes my way soon!!

I really appreciate it. I'm somewhat of a sap for motivational speeches. Before you forwarded this one to me, I hadn't heard or read Conan's speech. It's great one! THANKS!!! :-) I'm actually going to use the "relationship" analogy when I speak of my former job from now on. Andy, dearheart, I forgot to respond to your comment.

Let me know what your schedule looks like then. Best of luck on the hunt in the meantime. New York is a tough place, but like you said, you're from Chicago! You've got the chops to bust this gentrified town! Sounds good. Let me know what your schedule looks like then.
