I just got some premature news that the grant proposal for my internship was rejected…and for purely counter-productive reasons. Which, as much as I would like to be annoyed about it, I can’t be: this is how the business world works. And, in a field as neglected as the arts, I might as well learn to take rejection well. And I’m going to throw in an “ignorant buffoons” for good measure, just a bit.

Charlie has gone back to school. He’ll be back on Mondays and Thursdays to take his graduate classes, so I might be having dinner with his family and him two nights a week.

The job at the framing shop is going well. I like it. Still keep your fingers crossed that someone calls me back for that administrative assistant position. I need a really real job.
