five job leads dead

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.02.15

I managed to finally get a-hold of some of the people with whom I've been chasing job leads. I managed to get word that one way or another, no fewer than five of them were dead. One hire cancelled, two hires frozen, one place that's decided to only 'hire' for new positions internally, and one turned out to be somewhere I couldn't commute to and wouldn't move to.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
