The day has come. After much prodding from friends, I have finally broken down and made a blog. While I have no idea what I will put in it or if anyone will be interested in reading it other than my sis, here it is.

Well, being that this is my first post Ill just get all caught up on the changes that have occurred in the past month. My dear (cute and musically talented) friend Aaron - his blog here - submitted my resume to his manager for a position in his department. Now, while this sometimes goes nowhere and occasionally works, I quickly got a call for an interview and accepted the job 2 days later. WOOHOO!

Then the drama starts. I resigned from my old position with a 2 ½ weeks notice and was “informed” that I would not be paid for vacation time because they “deserved” a longer notice. I’m sorry but 2 ½ weeks is ample time for a notice; 2 flat weeks is industry standard. So I assume that it was taken very personal by my then boss and money/vacation was the only way he could retaliate. Regardless of which, it made for a very long 2 ½ weeks. And yes, in the end I was paid.

So new job starts; I can now metro to work which is fantastic (though the ride home on the metro is super-packed). In less than 2 years I have put over 45K miles on my car, so I am definitely psyched for public transportation! Though, I do have to admit…you see some rather strange people on the Metro sometimes. Like for example, the 45+ year old man who was berating the 19yo Asian fellow for standing too close to him. Very mature.

Aside from the free entertainment on the Metro, the job here has been great! I have met more people than I will ever be able to remember names for and have been in more meetings in the past week than I have most of my whole life. Great environment, learning new things, progressing myself nicely, and definitely happy.

A side note: By the way, if anyone is interested, Aaron (Subway State) DJs on Thursday nights at Science Club with his DJ partner - hottie with tattoos – Sean (his blog here) collectively called The Vodka Manx. Check them out, they are awesome.
