I interviewed for a job at a research lab yesterday.

Everyone in my program wants this job. It's an exciting project having to do with designing early detectors for lung cancer. The people who work there are friendly, the woman who runs the lab is supportive, and there's a really good possibility that the student who gets the job could get published.

Sarah interviewed for it earlier in the week. And being the nice friend she is, she put in a good word for me. To which the interviewer responded: "Is he the guy who worked on Blade II?"

Ugh.

I should do a resume rewrite, I realize. I've tried. But when it comes to work experience, I can't leave everything off or it looks like I haven't done anything for the past six years. And I'm honestly proud of a lot of the jobs I've had; they just don't look very applicable when you're trying to get a job fighting cancer. I've been hoping the science geeks would at least appreciate the fact that I worked on The X-Files.

I'm sure Rollerball impresses no one (which is as it should be).
