I Am Scandalously Decadent, I Know
Jan. 26th, 2012 11:05 amSo, I think I have a job.
I still have to have a background check and a credit check (so no one mention all those bodies I dumped in Lake Lag, okay?), but yeah, I got an offer and a start date this morning. And it's a decent job, too - I'm going to be doing copy-editing and customer service for the PR Firm Which Shall Not Be Named Because I Know They Google Themselves. That's almost sort of actually in my field! And assuming I make it through my probationary period, I might actually be earning enough money to start thinking about moving out of my dad's house and getting my own apartment in Albuquerque. Also, full health care benefits, omg.
I have been trying so hard for the last two weeks not to talk about this online, it's ridiculous. I don't usually mind talking about bad things on here - sometimes I go to ground and don't even want to mention them, but most of the time it's useful for me to try to work it out in my head and hear what other people think. But good things...I'm weirdly superstitious about those. I'm always vaguely worried that if I get too excited and start telling everyone before it's a sure thing, I'm going to jinx myself and ruin my chances of getting it. Especially bad when it's something important like this! So I have been keeping my mouth shut ever since the recruiter first called me, but now I can finally mention it. Which is good, because otherwise I would just burst, I am so overwhelmed at the feeling of NOT BEING UNEMPLOYED ANYMORE FUCKING HELL.
Guys, I am going to buy myself so many things this weekend. Winter gloves! A book about medieval history! DRAGON AGE II.
