The exciting news just keeps rolling in! Just a few weeks ago, I was amped about getting my first writing piece accepted to a major magazine. This particular magazine just happened to be one of my all-time favorites, Yoga Journal. Not long after that, I was told by a woman who I did an interview with about the SF Craft Mafia (Caitlin) that she was working part-time at the magazine but had to leave her position. Her reason for doing so was a good one (she got a full-time job at the SFMOMA), and the magazine was looking for someone to take her place.

I think you probably see where this is going.

Yes, I will be working in the Yoga Journal Magazine offices for the next two months as the Interim Production Assistant. At first, they were just looking for someone to take Caitlin’s temp job, but since she left a week or two ago, the current Production Assistant (Elizabeth) was called away for a family emergency. Since Elizabeth won’t be back until May 1st, I’ll now be doing Caitlin’s previous temp job (which is mostly data entry) and Elizabeth’s job.

My interview for the position was today; I was hired on the spot and did a bit of intro work before I left around noon (all of which I got paid for). I also got introduced around the office and had a chance to meet the editor of my piece that got accepted to the magazine (July/August 2007 issue, by the way). The whole crew is fantastic and I know that this will be wonderful experience. Needless to say, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well and that there might be a full-time, salaried position open for me come the beginning of May.

Also, for all my fellow greenies out there, make sure to pick up a copy of the upcoming April 2007 issue of Yoga Journal; there are oodles of fantastic shorts and articles about green living!
