Jessica 0 #1 April 19, 2003 Well, even if that interview I had doesn't pan out to a promotion, they liked me enough to ask me to start doing book reviews and some other writing for them. So now, I will read the hot new novel before it is available in stores, and get paid for it. Yeeha.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 April 19, 2003 Oh, that sounds really cool, Jessica, what a nice addition to a job! Hey, we could start a book club, and you could be our Oprah recommending all the good books! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #4 April 19, 2003 thanks Ivan! I thought after 2 years that the other one was getting a little stale. Plus, I was worried about people saying, "hey, you look younger in that picture, how old is that?" She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #7 April 19, 2003 Quote and you could be our Oprah recommending all the good books! Except with a lot less money. OK ladies, our first selection is "The Dirty Girls Social Club" by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a former reporter for the Los Angeles Times. This book, her first, was written over a period of six days. It will be released in stores May 6. I'll let you know if I like it. Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #8 April 19, 2003 Jess, I wanna do that.....how do I get a job like that one? Huh? No, I mean it. Really....I just don't wanna be Oprah. But getting paid to read? How fun would that be?

wmw999 2,584 #9 April 19, 2003 Congratulations! Just remember all those dz.com folks who sent you all those vibes yesterday, and make sure we know all the good books when they come out.

Jessica 0 #10 April 19, 2003 Thanks Wendy! I still need the vibes...they haven't made a hiring decision yet and probably won't for a while. You think reading for dough is cool, I used to get paid to EAT!Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #11 April 19, 2003 nice...i would love to get paid to read, but only if i had some control over what i had to read..my time is too important to me to waste it on (what i perceive to be) bad books.. in mass market media i think i would end up reading more crap than i could handle i like the book club idea..my first recommendation is Life of Pi by Yann Martel a young boy and a large tiger on a small life boat in a very large ocean. possibly the best book i read last year.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

skymama 37 #12 April 19, 2003 I think a book club would be cool too. I'd give us something to talk about in Talkback besides boobies and the war for a change.

jfields 0 #14 April 19, 2003 We could talk about things like: Boobies in Literature (picture book series) Books in Which Men Do Dumb Things for Access to Boobies Books in Which Women Love Boobies Too Seems reasonable. I'm in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jceman 1 #16 April 19, 2003 Congratu;ations, Jess. Even if you don't get the promotion you were interviewing for, you have already received a promotion of sorts. I only hope your doing well in the interview only helps lead you to better things no matter where you work. You rock, Jess. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
