magicalmarthaThe receptionist in my dad's office got fired yesterday, and the partners in his firm were apparently all "Is your daughter doing anything? Because we like her. She's friendly and stuff." So all of a sudden I have a real job, in the real world, with a real salary and benefits and everything. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about it, because even though this is exactly what I was looking for I sort of expected there to be an interview process and all of that, but I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth. I'm EXTREMELY lucky that this happened, and SO excited about actually having the money to do things like move out of my parents' house.
Which I'm fixing to do in the next month or so, I think. My boyfriend lives in a three bedroom apartment, and two of his roommates are moving out, so I'm going to take one of the extra rooms (he has another friend who's taking the third room). I think it will be a good arrangement. It's something we've been talking about for a while, and I really like Anthony the other friend, and I think the three of us will co-habitate in a friendly fashion. Plus his landlord is pet-friendly, so Dizzy can come too with no problems.
I'm keeping the job at Borders, at least for the short term. I'll be working weekends until it taxes my sanity too much to continue - I didn't feel comfortable completely jumping ship, even though they haven't been the best about schedules and suchlike. The extra money won't hurt, plus I like the work and the employee discount will always be awesome.
GenCon is this weekend, which I'm SUPER excited about - Privateer Press is releasing the new faction book for the new WarMachine army, and the rules for a battle team-based game called Malifluer will also be debuting, both of which I'm extremely interested in. I am looking forward to being a complete and total nerd for a weekend.
