So. I turned down the job I didn't really want at Penguin in hopes of getting the PlanetOut one. Turns out this might have been a bad decision, considering that I just found out that I didn't get the PlanetOut job (I was runner up, apparently, which is some consolation, at least). So now, am still unemployed. I have some other possible options lined up, so all is not lost. Still, booo.

Still, two promising prospects is an excellent beginning to a job hunt. Plus, my mom always tells me, it's really important to start out on the right foot (meaning a foot pointed towards a career and position you're really interested in) at the beginning because it's so hard to change channels once you get started...I say good on your for having the courage to hold out for what you really want. Plus, you never know, being runner-up may land you a job at that place in the near future since they'll probably hold on to your resume.

It's true, all is not lost. And I *know* it was the right decision, it just doesn't always feel like it. :)
