I am applying for jobs. Part of what I do is project management. Should I be PMI certified, or does nobody care?

In other news, the Hahvahd job I was working toward for months and months got to a point where everyone involved was really excited about me and they called to ask for my references one morning and then THAT DAY there was a big layoff and a 30-day hiring freeze on open positions while they figured out if laid off personnel fit any of the open jobs... and 29 days later I got the call that they were extremely sorry but someone else would be taking that position but blah blah blah I'm totally awesome and please keep applying and if I ever need a good word put in for me for a job at the university let them know. So pooh. I'm tired of fawning rejections, especially ones where everyone relevant loves me but upper management says no.

( I went to gyms. )

Also, we spent Saturday afternoon-into-evening at a crazy awesome backyard party (Back Yard Burning Man!) with temporary tattoos, glitter, and a bouncy castle. I saw lots of people and was far, far too sore to go up on stilts myself (or even carry on much of a conversation), but I still had a great time.

Good, good weekend. Now collapse.
