I've been looking for a new job, since I recently found out my current one is ending March 1st. (My whole team is being let go, but not before we spend a month training our replacements. Haha.)

So I'm looking around at ads for writing and editing positions, and I came across one that includes the following in the list of job qualifications:

  • Experience developing conditionalized, parameterized, metadata-driven content for multiple outputs.

I have no idea what that means, and I've been working at this very same company for almost two years now. Clearly this particular group is in desperate need of a good writer, but if that's their idea of clear, concise writing, I don't think I'd be a good match.

Hey Katie - glad to see you finally posted!

I just thought of something: it would be cool if you posted excerpts from your novel on here. What do you think?

I think that is a brilliant idea. Let me go see what I can drag up.

Okay, I still think the idea was brilliant, but the execution probably is not:

“Shit,” thought Detective Colasurdo, after he hung up and unplugged the phone. “I am totally going to end up having to buy that ferret back from that woman.”
