putting it out there to the universe

truepennyDear Universe:
For a variety of reasons that do not need exploring at this juncture (but that you, being the universe, already know about), I am looking for a part-time job. This is a tricky proposition for me, because my intensive training in one particular, esoteric field means that I am both over- and under-qualified for almost every job in existence--except teaching English, which, ironically, is not a job I want. (Teaching is never a part-time job.) Also, historically, I have proven to be really tip-top at not getting jobs. I haven't successfully applied for a non-teaching job since I was in college, and that, dear universe, was quite some time ago. In fact, as of this morning, I can assure you that that particular hex is still going strong.
I know you're a busy universe, with lots more important things to do, but if you should happen to fling a job my way, I would be very grateful.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Mole
NOTE TO THE INTERNETS: I am not--repeat not--looking for job-hunting advice. If you know about a specific job opening you think I should be aware of, I will be grateful for having it drawn to my attention, but otherwise, don't. Don't tell me about temp agencies, don't tell me about lying on my resume, none of it. I don't want to hear it. Your self-restraint in this matter is appreciated.
