The Usual


I hope you read this. I really hope you read this. I'll make a pastiche
for you at the end. You'll be rewarded, entertained by it. But in the
meantime, I've lost the job I had scoring Graduate Record Exam essays. I
have no idea why; it might well be the result of downsizing (we all had to
take a cut in salary), and I did take off weeks for the West Virginia
residency (but the job was part-time and ad hoc anyway). The downsizing
email simply said that one knew one could be let go at any time, without
reason. I've applied for unemployment, but since I had to have unemploy-
ment with the job (it never paid enough), I doubt I can get it at this
point. So if you know of any work, telecommuting or otherwise, part- time
or full-time, in the areas of test evaluation, text evaluation, teaching,
editing, copy-editing, please let me know. Of course I can get references,
etc. Thank you for reading this. The pleasure is below. - Alan
