Finally!

I’ve been casually looking for a new job for at least a year now (the middle of June was my two-year anniversary of me being at my first post-college job, which I landed two weeks after graduation and started two weeks after THAT), always submitting my resume to the local Gannett paper whenever a job that interested me popped up.
After a lull in the job search, I received an e-mail from said paper’s asst. ME, telling me that the ME handed her my resume, which they’ve had on file for quite a while now. I went in, interviewed, blew everyone away…. and never heard back. I shrugged it off, figuring it wasn’t meant to be.
A few weeks ago, the ME from that same paper called me and offered me an entirely different job—better hours, full time, MUCH better pay AND infinitely closer than my current job.
My first day is two weeks from now. I’m so freaking excited, even though I think I’m going to be a little teary-eyed on my last day of my current job. C’est la vie.
eeek! haven't logged on to 43t for a while

I finished “The Dark Tower” almost a month ago and…. wow. I’m still blown away by the scope and intricacy and humanity of these books. Roland is among the most tragic figures ever, and my heart just broke for him. I am so, so happy I followed my oh-so-wise fiance’s advice and invested so much of my time in these books, as the fulfillment and enjoyment I found in these books was SO worth it.
I honestly have a whole new respect for Stephen King as a writer now. Thankee, sai.
