Happy Week
I'm actually having a really good week! It's so unusual for me to have good things to say about myself and my life. I'm actually trying to give up being self-loathing and self-deprecation for Lent. But this post is is about good stuff.
1) I had a really good job interview this Wednesday with the National Labor Relations Board. This is a job I'd really, really love to have. It's government (I know I'm not big-time firm material) and, more importantly, it's labor law! It's funny that I only took labor law because of a scheduling snafu, and it became my favorite area of law. It's the one subject I still get really fired up about. And I think that enthusiasm really showed through at the interview. The interviewer was also really interested in my Wal-Mart background. I got a lot of positive feedback from the him and I came out of that interview feeling better than I had in a long time. He said he'd recommend me for a second interview, so *fingers crossed*.
2) I was already enjoying the week because of the glorious Conan/Colbert/Stewart crossover. That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen on late night tv. I love the three of them, though Conan's my original and current favorite. Late Night was on fire all week. Besides the brawl, we got the speed tour of 30 Rockefeller, superdesk and ring spin record breaking! I love that he had an MIT physicist on the show to help him beat his ring spin personal best. Nerd love.
3) All indications point to a resolution of the strike sometime this week. Possibly as early as Monday. I hope it's a decent deal, and something that the majority of writers can really live with. If that happens and I get my shows back this season, then I'm a happy camper.
4) And tonight was Law School Prom. It's officially called "Over the Hump," but let's call a spade a spade. It's prom. I had a good time, despite being the dateless 5th wheel. Me, Julie and Yomei get better acquainted with Julia's fiance. I got to dress up. I got more buzzed than I've probably ever been in my life. Nothing embarrassing happened. It was all good.
Now If I could sleep for 16 hours and awake to magically completed basic finance homework, it'd be the perfect week.
