I live about 10 minutes from Jenkintown. I WENT to BROOKLYN and did 5 hrs of BG on As the World Turns. Can I tell you how glad I was to get the check? I ran straight to Franklin Mills Mall with it. Don't judge. I woulddn't have come out any better making $10/hr answering phones. See? Someone in a more pathetic situation than yours. Well Cranky…

You beg for work, get an assignment, spend the entire deadline dreading it, wishing you could be doing anything but, submitting it after however long in misery- only to find yourself back to begging for work. Sometimes you get an offer for something you are pretty sure would kill your career and make you the joke of the business (IE: Writing about how super amazing the new tampon is with it's new features and packaging!) and you're torn.. take a chance on professional suicide, or wait some more. Blank paper can be very intimidating, there has been more than one occasion I wanted to "Go to Jenkintown" myself, hang on though, the good stuff is right around the corner.
