Dear David,
Thank you for your interest in any scientific journal/magazine/radio show/TV show.
I’m sorry to let you know we can’t offer you an internship this summer.
Best of luck in your future endeavors,
Some Editor
That is an almost verbatim cut-and-paste from some emails I have received recently.
I am averaging at one rejection a day, which just does wonders for the ol’ ego.
I have an intriguing interview on Thursday, and a few possibilities that are percolating on the back burner.
We shall see … But damn, I hope I get something soon.
