Big Changes

I start a new job tomorrow.  Project management position for the operations team, under the purview of the Finance Department.  Looks to be challenging, but manageable.  Lunch and dinners are catered by two on-staff chefs.  There is beer in the fridges, and my new macbook pro will be waiting for me when I get there tomorrow.

I'm also in the process of exiting my relationship with D.  I'm moving to my godmom's house, temporarily, for a couple of pragmatic/financial reasons, and dealing with a more permanent move to my own place after I settle into this new job.

Packing is a daunting task, even if I feel like I don't have that much stuff.

Jobby Job

After four months, and five rounds of interviews, I have secured gainful employment, starting on February 16, 2009.  On Thursday, I leave for a last hurrah surf trip to Baja.  Unfortunately, I won't be making it as far south as I'd like, but that's okay.  There are a lot of places for me to check out.  Looks like the weather won't be great, but hopefully, it won't be too bad.

I'm strangely excited to start working again.  I think it will be a great job - the environment is great.  And catered lunch and dinners.  The company is growing at a great clip, and they atmosphere seems great.  Updates will follow.

Jobby Job

Interviewing for the FIFTH time at a company that went on a hiring freeze almost immediately after interviewing me last quarter.  I don't even know what job I'm interviewing for (again).  I suppose it's the same one.  I'm sort of torn.  I know I need the job, but I'm kind of not interested in getting back into the workforce.  Of course, I will be totally pragmatic and take the job if it's offered to me.

Good luck to me.
