I just saw this:  http://seattle.eater.com/archives/2012/08/06/curbed-seattles-on-the-hunt-for-a-new-editor-want-the-gig.php

And so sent this:

Dear Curbed,

Please pick me. I am recently retired from 15 years of web work - writing to production - and I'd love to find a way to dip my toe back in without having to swim the whole way. I've always been fascinated by real estate. My very first webmaster job was building and maintaining a commercial real estate site. I am addicted to any and all real estate shows on HGTV and can never pass up a home tour.

I've lived in the same - wonderful - Pioneer Square condo for 20 years and have no intention of moving anywhere but am constantly trolling Zillow and Refin and, yes, Curbed, to see what I can see and oggle at all that need oggling all over the crazy Seattle market. I love all the different neighborhoods with their different flavors. I've been reading the blog of one local woman who was searching for that special place she could turn into her family home. The other day, I was going through the Central District on the way to somewhere and happened on her house!!! She'd described it so often that I knew it instantly. I felt like I had discovered a new planet!!

I have a Twitter account - https://twitter.com/SusanDennis - but honestly only really use it these days for emergencies and customer service issues. I joined Google+ on day one and that's where I live now but I have no objections to Twitter and still read my Twitter feed hourly - I have it integrated into my Google+ feed.

My Google+ Profile will lead you to more info about me: https://profiles.google.com/susandennis

Seriously, please pick me. I'll find all that fabulous Seattle real estate online inside poop and turn it into Curbed gold.

Well that didn't last long...

[susandennis]

now, come on... I said that I would apply for jobs here and there if only to meet the unemployment insurance requirements. In order to get the free money, I have to make 3 contacts for new job a week. Plus, it sounds like a cool freelance gig!!

Wow, what a great "cover letter"!

[susandennis]

Thank you! It's good to know I may have hit the mark!

Well done! I'd hire you in an instant.

[susandennis]

Nice. I appreciate the vote of confidence!

[slinkr.livejournal.com]

That's great! You'd be really good at it. I encourage all your readers to tweet to @CurbedSeattle and recommend you.

[susandennis]

OMG! You did! You crack me up. Thank you!

I was walking through Pike Place Market the other day. A lot of their floor is tiled. The tiles are engraved (embossed?) with the name of a contributor to a big rebuilding of the market about 20 years or so ago.

Anyway, the other day I when I was walking through, I looked down and saw your name on a tile!!!! I stopped and took a picture so I could send it to you.

When I got home and looked at the picture, I saw that I was off but not by much!!

[slinkr.livejournal.com]

Only off by one! That's pretty funny.
