I need a way to keep myself on task with my newest goal in life - to find meaning, hope, inspiration, and oh yes, a job. I've been unemployed for eight months. I went through withdrawal from my last post, I began to be hopeful, I began to lose hope. Now I want to follow through on my New Year's Resolution - find peace with myself and the world around me. Basically, that means I need to get out of my house more and find something to do 40 hrs a week that doesn't make me want to stick a pencil in my eye.

At one point, I was a prolific bbs writer. Except it was just bull(etin) and then it was firstclass that got my missives. Wellesley College had a prolific online community and I ordained myself Queen of Bull(etin). My online life came crashing to a halt in 2000 when I actually graduated after 4 yrs (a minor miracle). I sent some long emails, I chatted on a listserv, but mostly I mourned the loss of my online life. Then I began my first blog, and happiness prevailed for my online persona. Except now I want a differentiation between the "personal yet still publicly accessible me" and the "politically ranting me." Enter The Daily Email.
