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.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
