Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
My posts about the background of The Only Living Boy In New York and the histories of the two contenders in my Battle of the Bands (Simon & Garfunkel and PigPen Theatre Co.) will be delayed or might not happen at all, but I'll certainly return on November 21st to announce the winner.
At long last, I'm in the final stages of getting a job. I can't tell you what it is, but it involves an extensive background check. I have a lot of forms to fill out. There's so much I don't remember about my own work history, such as starting and ending dates. It's probably going to take me a while to get through all the paperwork.
Please say a prayer for me, send positives vibes toward Florida, cast a happy spell, and wish me well. If everything works out, it will mean a new job for me in the new year.
In the meantime, if you haven't voted yet in my BATTLE OF THE BANDS: THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK, I hope you'll listen to the two versions of the song and tell us which one you prefer.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
My motto as an editor: Authors are the authority on their work. I'm a full-service editor. For a reasonable fee, I'm your writing coach from the first suggested revision to the correction of the final typo.
Fingers crossed for you. Hopefully, they won't find all of your skeletons. Like, that drifter you once . . . Oh no, I've said too much.

ReplyDeleteUncross those toes before you try to walk.
DeleteCongrats! I'm sure everything will go smoothly.sending hugs and positive vibes your way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, darling Murees.
DeletePositive, positive, positive. When you figure out all the dates, put them in a file in your computer. You never know when they will come in handy.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. I wish I had kept records over the years.
DeleteOh, exciting! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteI am THRILLED for you. And sending cyber good wishes flooding your way.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I'm very nervous about the background check. It's not as if I've ever committed a crime, but I have to come up with so much information.
DeleteI'm sending positive thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephen.
DeleteI will light a candle for you !
ReplyDeleteSo very happy for you.

I appreciate it.
DeleteI'm all excited just hearing about it! Good luck, dear Janie.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Jenny.
DeleteGood luck with your new double-secret FBI job! Because of course anything that requires an extensive background check must be exactly that.
ReplyDeleteUm, of course.
DeleteGood luck, sending positive vibes all the way from the UK!
ReplyDeleteI can feel those vibes all the way from the UK.
DeleteAbsolutely wishing you the very best of luck!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm thinkin' school or government job. Hmmm. Sounds interesting. I'm so curious! Can't wait to hear all about it. Sending good vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. The guessing game begins. Maybe it's a job painting rocks. Ha! I have no artistic talent.
DeleteJanie,
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even know where to begin being out out of the workforce for a 110 years. That's how it seems to me anyhow. :) I wish you the best of luck in your new job and I certainly will keep you in my thoughts & prayers. I can only imagine your excitement and terror. Don't worry about Blogosphere. We'll be here waiting for you whenever you can get around to those of us who don't have anywhere to go. Have a joyful, blessed Thanksgiving, dear friend!
Thank you. I wish you a blessed Thanksgiving, too.
DeleteYou know I am wishing you the very best!!!!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteI always know because I can count on you.
DeleteJust don't use Doctor X as a reference & you'll do fine!!
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed. I was ready to hear the stories. But, it's for a good cause and I wish you well...happy spells and prayers.
ReplyDeleteFingers and toes crossed for you...but not my eyes:) I think you will do well if you have to jump through all those hoops. I bet Penelope is crossing her paws too.
ReplyDeleteOh, you got it! Can't you feel all of those good Swiderski vibes and prayers whopping you in the head? Good luck. I hope you get the job.
ReplyDeleteI am sending a boatload of good thoughts your way!
ReplyDeleteSending you tons of positive vibes for a most successful outcome! If you're anything like me, you HATE filling out paperwork. I can feel your pain, especially when you have to go digging in your past to find dates and such. For me, a neat but very disorganized person, that would be a daunting prospect. Wishing you well.
ReplyDeleteI'm deep into your battle right now. I had never heard of PigPen Theatre Co so am researching them and then I'm on to read your post about Simon & Garfunkel (who I love!) and then I'll decide on my vote for your battle. I think I know how I'm leaning though...
Best of luck to you! I hope this new job comes through for you and that it's one in which you will be extremely happy...
PS: Loved listening to Donna Summer's song. It's perfect for this post! You're too good...
XOXO

Fantastic news! Paperwork is such a drag, but I'm sure you'll get through it soon enough. Sending you positive thoughts and best wishes for getting that job!
