| | Alright. Best thing that's happened to me since I graduated: I'm employed. All those
hours spent panicking during preps, and eventually failing at past
interviews have all led up to this moment. Or not.
Anyway, the details:
Starting in 2 weeks, as an Electronic Discovery Analyst. How spiffy is
that title! Well it's actually *just* a database analyst role.
The best part about the job is: I actually have a *valid* reason to buy
nice clothes! Next best thing, the hours: 11am -> 7pm. Not so great,
but still a big perk: I get one weekday off. The only tiny drawback: I
have to work on either a Saturday or a Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able
to pick my shift; at this point I definitely want the Sunday and Monday
off, for various reasons:
- Saturday night football + Sunday arvo + night football...
- The option of going to church...
- No Monday blues...
Of course, that would mean no Friday nights and no Saturday arvo social life. Definitely can live with that.
Celebratory sessions will be organized; wine/whisky + Cubans with
Mr.Man. Boozing binge with the uni boys. And big fat dinner with
everyone else...
Am I overreacting? For sure. There are many things more important in
life, and many more to come. But for now, I'd like to indulge in the
moment and not give a flying f*** about what other people think.
Some interesting (no, not really) little points:
- First person to see the offer letter - Winnie (we read it together!)
- First person I hung out with after getting the offer - Dave (Happy Birthday Dave!!!)
- First item spent on - the remaining payment of $105 of the total
cost of $155 for my stylish Freshjive shorts. To the Yarra City Council. F*ck.
- Number of text messages sent today- 23
- Number of phone calls made - who knows? (can't be bothered checking)
- Number appearing on the phone bill this month - $79 (I knew the cap would come in handy!)
- Figure in the balance of my bank account after the weekend - I hope it doesn't have a negative sign in front of it!
Finally, a shout out to...
- My parents who only know how to love me, I owe you everything.
- My
amazing friends who kept me sane, how can I ever thank you enough? You
know who you are. You've all been my comfort zone, my safety net.
- Everyone has a leprechaun, and I'm no different: Karan who hooked me up left, right and center! Thanks buddy...
- The fella upstairs, You are my lifeline. The friend & guardian
who's always there, looking out for me. I am truly humbled...
Xanga has actually improved their interface, as evidenced in the
silly overusage of bullet points in this post. The wheels were
in motion to switch to Blogger, but well done Xanga, you've kept a
user. Not that it makes any difference, considering I still haven't
signed up for the premium membership.
