So after declaring my departure from publishing, guess what I'm
interviewing for on Friday. Yes, a Senior Editor position! It's a better job, being in editorial and not production, with better prestige and recompense. I really want this job; I am qualified and would love to work at the location (it's a university). As a die-hard atheist, I can't ask you good people for prayers; as a die-hard skeptic, I can't ask you good people for good thoughts or vibes. So please feel free to send me cash so I can bribe the nice lady I'm interviewing with!

1. So- no problem with that little ethics thing then.
Yep, you're a modern editor!

2. Ethics, schmethics!
It's not a real editor position; a little website content generation, a little web maintenance, come up with some copy for the commencement collateral, that kind of thing.

6. You know what I mean!
No chatting with authors; no planning a season's list; no worrying about the backlist; no schmoozy cocktail parties with the folks from Bookbuilders. I don't even get to join the Association of American University Publishers!

10. Thank you very much
I'll take whatever folks are willing to give! I so much want to leave my current job and get this one. I really can taste it.
