Katy worked for Netflix and has many amazing tales if anyone is interested.
I mean, who knew there was a PHONE NUMBER you could call if you had problems with your Netflix? What kind of demographic would it even occur to to call that number? I think you get the picture.

You guys! After many months (years?) of unsuccessfully sending resumes out into the universe/trying to figure out what the hell I want out of a job, anyway, I randomly had TWO job interviews this week for positions that would access completely different parts of my brain/personality and it has been revelatory! One was all web-developy-designy-in-a-huge-beautiful-loft-with-programmer-dudes and the other was all mental-health-clinical-research-details-rules-psychiatric-assessments-and-such. I came away from one of the interviews with the overwhelming feeling: THIS IS WHERE I BELONG. Such a nice piece of information, that feeling, regardless of if I get either job.
I met Nick on the bus. I say beside him and he said, "Are you Mike?" and that was a little freaky! He is a reader of the fine work we do at Urban Honking. He is also very nice and he is looking for a job. I told him to look here, so please keep posting jobs for Nick.

Expand our Letterpress Studio, Zine Library, Production Room and community areas.
Purchase four new IMacs as part of a much-needed Computer Lab upgrade.
Hire a Community Resource Coordinator to better organize and operate the IPRC’s creative resources, and to also train and support our current volunteers."
Thank you for your suggestion! That is seriously right up my alley. I went in and talked to Justin today about it so I will definitely be applying when they formally call for resumes in July. Thank you!
