Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways To Give:

finch linked to a fundraiser for temporary housing for a friend of his who is currently homeless with her boyfriend and young son.

Anon linked to eldritch-elegy on Tumblr, who is in a tight financial spot and about to be evicted. The rebloggable post is here, and she has a Donate button on her Tumblr page.

soc_puppet's parents' basement flooded this week, and insurance isn't covering repairs; soc_puppet is trying to earn some extra cash to pitch in with the repair. They have an etsy store and are taking commissions (gallery link here).

Leslie linked to a fundraising post for katze_neko_mew's very sick kitty and their vet bills.

inksheddings linked to Sports-Social, a social skills/sports facility for kids with autism. Last week, someone tried to burn it down and now they are closed until further notice. They need donations for repairs. You can view video of the damage and there's a donate button at their facebook page.

insixeighttime linked to a 50th Anniversary Doctor Who Virtual Fun Run/Walk. It's a really interesting idea and seems like a great way to help raise money for victims of the Boston bombings.

I also found a great list of ways to help show your support and give aid to the Boston survivors here.

Help For Free:

Bleizunge linked to Slashersivi on Tumblr, who is looking for advice on how to handle a situation with a neglected horse on an adjacent property.

Anon is moving to Chicago as an MA student at UChicago in September, and would like advice on living in a city, especially as someone with anxiety issues. They left a comment here to which you can reply.

Just For Fun:

Bit of a personal brag this week -- reena_jenkins has just finished a number of podfics for my fics. You can find podfics for my serial killer NCIS AUs "Style" and "Good Boy" here, Torchwood crossovers Handler and Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodies here, and my comics crossover Transfer Students here.

And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can always post items for my attention in comments here (or on any post) or email me at copperbadge at gmail dot com. If you're not sure how to proceed, here is a little more about what I do and how you can help (or ask for help!).

...and then a local NFP emailed me today to schedule a phone interview. A phone interview for a job I am in NO WAY qualified for.

Well, okay, that's not true. Going off the description, I could probably do it. But I only applied because it was local and I needed to fill my quota for the day. It's a managerial position, at least according to the title, and I'm not sure they want to hire someone who has never actually worked as an analyst to manage analysts. Also scuttlebutt says that this particular NFP is a HOT MESS.

And yet they called me! Perhaps they sensed a kindred spirit. At any rate, I have a phone interview with them in a few days. So...there's that.

I did the math today and I have submitted eighteen job applications since March 1st, which is less than I thought I had. Of those, I've had four bites:

1. Prestigious East Coast NFP
2. Comic Sans University
3. Semi-Prestigious Midwestern NFP Which Won't Pay Me Enough
4. The Museum Of Hot Mess

*studies list*

Apparently I appeal to a number of different demographics. Good to know.
