Spent the morning researching career opportunities and applied to a fully-remote Client Coordinator position at a small pub trivia podcast and app company. They said they're passionate about "useless trivia."

I wanted to differentiate myself from other applicants so I opened my cover letter with these statements:

“Pogonophobia is the fear of beards.”

“Floccinaucinihilipilification is the act of assessing something as worthless.”


...and then went on to describe my passion for obscure knowledge.

Finding that I still had the afternoon wide open, I researched and compiled a list of 17 music book publishers, narrowed the list to those presently accepting unsolicited proposals, authored proposals based on the cited requirements for each qualifying publisher, then sent proposals and chapter samples of my book to the most promising three of the list.

By 12:30 I'd run out of work to do. Hopefully I can keep busy.
