IT HAS BEGUN
omigod omigod omigod I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!
okay, so, this is probably the first many of you have heard of this. i have been trying to move to philadelphia for the better part of two months now and i have had NO LUCK (no luck at all!) with finding a job. i'd get interviews, they'd go well, i'd never hear from the people again. and of course getting an apartment without a job is, well, shall we say, difficile.
HOWEVER. today i had a third (yes third!) meeting with the fine people at the south street headhouse special services district, and they offered me a job! full time, $12 an hour, health benefits after three months. omigod omigod omigod! this will be the COOLEST. JOB. EVER. (well, that i've ever had (which is not, of course, saying much).) basically i'll spend every day either hanging out in like THE sweetest office (one giant light-filled room, the second story of a 19th century firehouse) indulging my OCD tendencies (filing, numbercrunching, that sort of stuff), OR schmoozing with the crazy business owners/artists/musicians/etc of south street. omigod i will be working there for HALLOWEEN YES.
i know i am being crazy silly but i am SO FUCKING EXCITED. a real job! doing cool stuff! with nice people! that pays MONEY. in one of the most fun neighborhoods* in this city that i have grown to adore. oh man oh man oh man. i am so friggin happy right now. i had like an hour of sleep but i am so hyper.
aaaaaaaah! it's actually happenning!
for once i think i can say this without a trace of sarcasm:
I WIN AT LIFE.
*west philly, of course, still being the most awesomest.
