[kj] back to woik!!!

[Alexander Smith]

Well, honestly, I'm kinda putting the cart before the horse here. For  
a start, I haven't been formally asked to be interviewed just yet  
(though my former colleague from TIME who works there now is  
suggesting it's imminent). I'm not in a position to be turning my  
nose up at any opportunities at the moment, so at the very least,  
I'll go and hear what they have to say and/or offer. I'd be foolish  
not to.

That all said, it's not the first (or second or third or fourth, etc.  
etc.) place I'd want to work.

We'll see.

Alex in NYC
