I got a job.  

I know.  It's a miracle.  And honestly, I just don't know what to do with myself now that I'm not spending six hours a day job hunting.  I just sit here at my computer, staring at all of the links and Web sites that no longer needed to be checked ONE THOUSAND TIMES PER DAY.  And, since I have a completely crazed and obsessive mind that always needs to be focused on "hunting" for something, I've now turned to apartments.  Which I won't be moving into anytime soon.  But, you know, just something to do.  

Since some very sweet inquiring minds have asked what I'll be up to... I've gotten a position as an assistant at a votech high school only 15 minutes from my house.  (Fifteen minutes!  Do you know how CLOSE that is!?  And it doesn't involve $330 in monthly commuting costs!  Or freaky businessmen offering me early morning massages.  I just don't know how I'll handle it.)  Technically the job is only temporary until June - and part-time, from 10-5 - with the hope to become fulltime once they finalize their funding for next year blah blah blah.  I'll be supporting one of the program directors/school assistant principals - working to promote certain school programs, some grantwriting, school newsletters, etc.  

And the biggest shocker of all?  I'm actually excited.  Anyone who knows me - anyone who is acquainted with my impossible job standards - realizes the enormity of this statement.  But I really do think a school environment will be good for me.  I like being surrounded by academia.  Everyone that I've met there so far is super duper nice.  Plus they seem desperate for help so I feel like I'll be well utilized and actually busy and bustling all the time (as opposed to a slovenly minion on the corporate totem pole). 

I'm slated to start the 24th.  So hooray to money and having a life purpose.  

Note:  The school also happens to be across the street from the mall.  Bad things might happen.
