New chapter
Okay, so my last entry was a bit brief. I’m still trying to catch my breath, but here’s what’s up. The down low. The nitty gritty.
My roommate from last year (who I haven’t talked to in… a year) e-mailed me randomly last week saying that there was an opening at her job and she thought I’d be the perfect fit. Of course I read the e-mail in the middle of a group meeting, so I was all, AHHH! ShRIEK!!! I mite haz a job!! Oh, sorry, I don’t know what came over me.
I had a phone interview last Friday, and a real interview on Monday morning. I also had to edit three news articles to catch spelling and punctuation errors, and, no joke – that kind of stuff turns me on. Like, raging boner. Some people may find editing mundane, but I just love it. Just get me going on comma splices and misspellings, and in five minutes I need a cold shower.
So I got the job. I rocked the test. I don’t care if that sounds arrogant. I’ll be an Editorial Assistant, and to be perfectly honest, it’s my goal job for myself right out of college. I turned in so many applications to similar positions, and I’m so thankful that something finally worked out.
The drawbacks? The book I’ll be working on publishes at the end of June, and so my boss isn’t sure if he’ll “keep me on” after that. So basically, I have a full-time job through June, and then who knows. I’m hopeful that I can Bring It and impress him so much that he dreads the thought of not keeping me, but I won’t know for a few weeks. In the mean time, I’m starting to look for my own place. My own place for a month or so? My own place for the summer? It’s all up in the air! And it’s kind of an uncomfortable place to be in. But at least I have something.
