danger.
“people have become so accustomed to texting
that they’re actually startled when the phone rings.
it’s like we all suddenly have bat phones.
if it rings, there must be danger.”

birth.
and on the day
that a royal prince was born
a baby sister was born
and our butterfly babies were born
each arrival was nothing less than spectacular.

“birth is the sudden opening of a window,
through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect.
for what has happened?
a miracle.
you have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything.”

snoozetern.
If your summer plans already include laying in bed all day, you may be the perfect fit for the Mattress Firm’s new job opening. The company is looking for a “snoozetern” to test mattresses at their Houston, Texas headquarters by sleeping in them.
The Mattress Firm’s intern will be paid to spend 30 hours a week lounging in bed this summer. Job duties include assessing “the optimal head and foot positions” for reading, eating, binge-watching, and of course, sleeping in bed. When they’re awake, the snoozetern will also be responsible for creating written and video content for Mattress Firm’s website and social media platforms.
The ideal candidate is 18 or older, has housing and transportation access in the Houston area, knows how to use video editing software, and is “passionate about sleep and comfort.” Mattress Firm will select three to five finalists out of the applicants to create a short video pitching themselves, and from those candidates one will be picked for the job.
To apply, head to Mattress Firm’s website and submit your resume and relevant information. But you’d better hurry: Applications are due May 3, and the intern will be selected by the middle of May.
