Realm: Job Applications - Subrealm: long online forms

I applied for another of those jobs that want your last seven years' worth of employers. One of the ones where, by the end of the application, you can't remember what the position was, because you were focused on remembering the contact info. for the last dozen employers...
Also finally applied for that research assistant job with Harvard professor/librarian and internet activist Jonathan Zittrain. As I told him frankly in my cover letter, I have no idea whether I'm exactly right for the job or exactly wrong, but it was too intriguing not to apply. (That said, as Sovay knows I procrastinated on this for like two weeks, because I REALLY don't think I'm getting this one.)

Everything else (job- and Boston housing-wise) is hanging fire. As is what the hell-ass kind of precipitation we're getting tomorrow...

I eventually moved towards describing myself as self-employed (though I didn't formally assume that status until 2012) and listing clients, which was quicker and saved space. I still had a few payroll employers though, even if in some tax years I received forms confirming my annual earnings were £0.00... I hope this professor comes through.
