So now that I've finished with college, society informs me that the next step expected of me is to enter the workplace. Since I've decided I quite like this writing lark, I'll be pursuing it as a means of putting food in my belly and gimmicky electrical devices in my house.
The only problem with trying to get hired as a writer is that people expect me to provide them with examples of how I write. Since the amount of stuff I've bothered to get published is minuscule (and I didn't keep copies of most of it), I'm going to try and use my blog as an example of what I'm about. The only problem with this is that sending a potential employer to my blog would lead to pointless posts like this!
Here's the solution: over the next few days I'll be going through the past entries of the blog, tagging the best of them with a label like "hireme". Would-be employers come to my blog via http://ssully.blogspot.com/search/label/hireme and voila! No pointless posts to endure!
Anyhow - I'll be requiring suggestions and advice via the comments - every entry that I tag or am thinking of tagging will be linked from there. So get to it! What posts make me look good?

I sent the editor of the local paper an e-mail, and I linked to

He responded favourably - apparently I have "plenty of attitude" - which is nice - but I'm not so sure if all would-be employers would find these entries as enlightening. Anyone agree or disagree?
Pretty daycent! Just don't send it into a catholic paper - or a paper with any posh-speaking religious fuckwits who like chick flicks.
