Well, Sh*t.

Monkeys,

Medium length story made short: I was 99% sure I was getting a SA position in NYC this summer; however, it fell through. I had some fall backs in case that happened...but those fell through, too! So either: 1) I'm a failure or 2) I did something awful to someone years ago that merits all of this [or 3) IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY!].

I am pretty much from a non-target (main reason I didn't get NYC); however, I know the technicals and fit forwards and backwards. I am in the Dallas, TX area; suggestions? I am open to any and all leads. So, any monkeys want to help a fella out? I would be totally comfortable communicating with you first before you point me in a direction.

I appreciate any advice.
