Just applied for a job at Google...

i don't even care what they'd pay me, i just want to work there!

A moderator on another forum pointed out one of the jobs on Google's Jobs page to me, having noticed (i wonder how) my dissatisfaction with my current job, and (I flatter myself) my wondrous proficiency as a writer (I'm still in self-congratulatory resume mode, pardon me). I won't tell you which one-- I don't want *more* competition! And, while I had decided that it would be more productive to focus efforts on becoming a freelancer instead of looking for a job that would make me happier than my current stupid one, the idea of working for Google just makes me tingly. I had to try it. I probably won't get the job, but at least I gave it a shot!
I wrote three drafts of that cover letter, too...

Wouldn't it be awesome to work for Google? Because you wouldn't *have* to explain what you do-- everyone knows what Google is and would just be awed that you actually work there!
If I get so much as an interview I'll buy my entire family "I'm Feeling Lucky" boxers for Christmas.

Dragonlady7 - isn't that going to look as if you're desperate? Cool sophisticated detachment should be the order of the day.

Well, the job was related to writing Adwords copy, so...

Heh heh, and then I could add "Adwords experience" to my resume, and if I do end up doing it at work, I'd already be experienced. I may well do so... A project for this weekend!
I should probably check Google's website to see if the job is even still posted...
