It will happen soon

For a long time, my favorite thing in Chicago was the painted window on a certain storefront underneath the Western brown line station: "Chubby Wieners...It Will Happen Soon!" It just had this very portentious feel about it. I know they used this somewhat baroque phrasing to avoid telling us that a wiener would be coming, but that never lessened my delight. I loved how heavy the announcement seemed, how certain: it WILL happen, and SOON.

I'm thinking about the Chubby Wieners sign this week, because things in my life are reaching the It Will Happen Soon point. My options are opening up, change is on the way; could be, who knows. It kicked off three days ago when the job I put in for, and about which I am still reluctant to speak, called me about an interview. So I'm busting down to New York on Tuesday night for a Wednesday afternoon interview with the head of the sales department and the head of HR. I am now an official candidate for this position, and I have the three-page job application form and background check authorization paperwork to prove it.

I recently was sent a link to a job posting online, for a locally based heavy metal news site/networking hub.

And now, even though when I was like 14 I made fun of heavy metal kids all the time and found myself alarmingly comfortable listening to nothing by Dave Smalley's bands over and over, I'll probably be doing a weekly column at this site.

I wonder how many times I can write about Disfear, Iced Earth, or the one time I saw Metallica when I was a kid before I get found out for not being very metal at all.

HOORAY FOR ADVENTURE!

The forces that keep us happy and fed

I didn't want to announce this prematurely, but I have recently acquired employment in an organization which starts with a P and rhymes with Lanned Arenthood. I start in a week and I'm very excited about my first venture into the non-profit world.

p.s. The benefits are oh so good. My ovaries rejoice!
