California! Here I Come!!! |
|
No, I'm not just channeling Phantom Planet. I GOT THE JOB!!!! I'm negotiating salary at the moment, but I'm already pretty happy with their first offer.
Dream job. Dream city. I'm sooooo excited.
Thanks to everyone who offered words of encouragement and support.
And LA DUers...I'll be invading your fair city in October.

Research librarian at a law library. I'm all about building the argument and then letting someone else make it.
But it's actually a front for my second career. My evil plan is to get out there, volunteer for some wonderful liberal politician (Senator Boxer, hopefully) and try to make it in politics eventually. But in the meantime, I've got a well-paying 9-5 job. ;)

43. I am sooo excited right now |
|
I'm totally not going to sleep tonight. :)
I'm looking at early October, they want me to start work by mid-October. I'll be working downtown, but obviously don't want to live there.
At the moment I'm looking at Burbank and Studio City, but only because that's the area I'm most familiar with. I'm mostly interested in safety, and will deal with cost issues later. ;) But if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
I'll PM you all of my contact info too, once I have it. I'm going to be so ridiculously far from home, I figure the more people I know the better!!

Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 10:07 PM by ZombyWoof
More, and better quality. Remember, Boston siphoned off people from OTHER CITIES AND STATES (even another country!) for their gathering.
We need no such inflation. :P

42. NSMA and Misunderestimator |

They have been trying to lure Nini and I out of hiding, and Nini's job has made that next to impossible, but we SWEAR one of these days to make good on it.
