Got it
I am very pleased to announce that I've officially accepted the position of Production Editor for Globe Pequot Press! They extended the offer today and after griping about the substantial pay cut I'm going to have to deal with, I decided this is what I really want and as long as I get paid enough to pay the bills, I can handle it.
Ughh but it's only $32k!! So I lose $3000 in pay and at least a couple thousand for gas money to pay for that commute. Major ouch. But whatever, I'll have to make some changes in my lifestyle, that's all. They at least agreed to let me have my review after 6 months instead of a year, so I would be up for a raise sooner if I do well. And trust me, I'm gonna bust my ass at this job... I'm not fucking around any more.
So aside from the money thing, I'm a very happy girl. I just know this was the right step for me. I feel a little bad about leaving the Chamber in relative shambles, but if I didn't leave soon, I was just going to be dragged down with it. It was a good job though and I sure as hell learned a lot.
p.s. The Office is on tonight! A great way to end a great day! Sad that Top Chef is over and that jerky Hung won--I loooved Dale--but that was a great show. And of course House is back, and that's started off really well so far. Not crazy about Cam's blonde hair and the whole Cam and Chase engaged thing (shudder), but that'll probably last as long as Jen and Jesse did. Oh snap!!
