Yes, Ohio is flat.

Getting a letter ready for another job application. I have sent my stuff out to a few places, with mixed results so far.

D.E. Shaw, the hedge fund in NYC is not interested.
Epic, the local healthcare IT provider is interested.

I'm still waiting to hear from Google (in Cali) and the Madison-based C.O.W.S. (Center on Wisconsin Strategy).
I'm also thinking about applying to Gallup (In London or elsewhere). I've got a good feeling right now, and I think I will apply for a few more places before the week's end.

  • news
Just went with ma mere to ohio to visit mik at oberlin. The campus is amazing, much larger than i expected and generally quite elegant (yeahhh the conservatory isn't that swell). it was fun to hang with mik and meet his friends/roommates/etc. we went to a play "bug" that was terribly cliche, but performed well by the students. we also went to friendly's and then target, which was probably the worst 1-2 combo known to any woman or man.

i also have been applying to jobs, see above.
