I saw the Michael Jackson movie, &#8220;This Is It&#8221; and was just amazed. For all of his craziness, the man had musical and performance genius. Such a strange, tormented soul &#8211; not a man, not a boy.Not really human, not quite fully alien. I just kept thinking about how devastated these people in the film must have been &#8211; the dedication and drive and utter adulation they exhibited was astronomical. I also could not stop singing MJ tunes, and I believe even got an unintentional guffaw from my husband as I hit a very high &#8220;HEEEHHHH heeee&#8221; (ala, &#8220;The Way You Make Me Feel&#8221;.) Capitalizing on his death? Maybe. But I&#8217;m glad I saw it.<\/p>\n<p>2. Oh, Career Builder. You think you know me, but then you send me some of the funniest job &#8220;matches&#8221;. Because I&#8217;ve done quite a bit of healthcare marketing, CareerBuilder thinks I should apply for jobs like, &#8220;Director of Radiology&#8221; and &#8220;Emergency Medicine Supervisor&#8221;. Those emails make me chuckle, as I imagine myself just &#8230;. winging it in the interview. &#8220;Why, yes. I studied all those things back at Johns Hopkins. (Nods seriously.) Of course, I thought about surgery, but it&#8217;s my love of the ER that really brought me back from the coast to do my residency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3.

People I know are starting to get jobs, and second interviews (or third ones) and it&#8217;s heartening. Of course, I still ache for the moment when the conductor calls my name, and I get to exit the Unemployment Train, and I still miss my former clients, in a weird way. Like, I worry about them and wish I could still be working on their business, because I can say with a fair amount of certainty that nobody cared as much as I did.\u00a0 I saw a competitor for one account on tv, and I know how I would have handled it, what I would have found out, etc. You can&#8217;t just replace that dedication or knowledge, but there it is.
