my old boss rehired me just as i received that offer from penguin putnam (see blog from 30jan). my solution? i'm working two jobs starting next week.

14 hours at penguin
+ 18 hours at my old job
= 32 damn hours
+ 12 credits
= a very busy eileen.

let the paychecks come rolling in. i just hope this doesn't interfere with my real job search.
