Lunchbox Cometh... again... maybe?

Postby Johnny_Lunchbox » 17 Apr 2008, 12:21

Alright, I'm graduating in what--a week and a half?--with an honours degree in Creative Writing, a mittful of publications, and a year and a half of experience working for a small press under my belt. But, now that I'm done with school (for good, God willing), I can finally start hunting for a job out in and around Victoria.

The problem is, literary career jobs are VERY hard to come by, and I'm stuck 3,000 kilometers away while I job-hunt.

That said, I'd love to run off to Victoria to join the circus--err, I mean, LRR crew--on a more full-time basis, and figured I'd see if I could milk the forums for contacts. Do any of you happen to know anyone in the publishing field (literary, news, magazine--anything, really) out in Victoriaville/Vancouverland? A foot-in-the-door would be a HUGE help--and I'd really love to get back to LRRery. (Not that I'm not going to start pummeling Graham with scripts, anyways.)

Thanks tons in advance.

- JL.

That's what she said. XD

Wish I could help, JL, but I'm in the wrong section of the continent. Either way, it'd be awesome to see you back in LRR again. =)

Unless there are any objections, I hereby pledge the support of the Maritimes, the full Atlantic provinces pending on Newfoundland's vote.

BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

(Yes, I hold the power of knowing the true name of Mr. J Lunchbox.)

It's danged hard to find a literature type job, but perhaps you could talk to some of the CUP type papers out here. They might be hiring professionals such as yourself for various editorial positions.

You will also have to come and get rude drunk. This shall pass.

So I have 4 states and 6 provinces behind me (Ontario is a gimme, 'cause that's my own riding)--even if that isn't a majority, I say fuck it; we'll give the rest of 'em Florida's voting machines to make it a minority Lunchboxmental government.

If not, then the friendly provinces/states can separate and form a new dystopia beneath my enlightened leadership. I shall be the Andrew Ryan of your Rapture! Err, wait a sec...

CUP-type papers? I don't think any of the people I knew in the CUP are still working there...

It is contrary to procedure to submit a fish to yourself. To request a review of the relevant rules, lie on the ground and put your hands on your head in the standard "Cake-Receiving Position" now.

Thank you, GLaDOS. Now if you would open the file clearly marked "Not a hard-drive raping super-virus"...
