OMG job

Sep 05, 2007 22:26

About a week ago, I applied for a web design job I saw posted on Craig's List. It was for a social networking website called Gather, which is like Facebook for your mom. I wrote the craziest cover letter imaginable, which took more time and effort than my college application essay. Then I got an email, then I got a phone call, and suddenly this ( Read more... )

Salud Adam : )

how is commuting into Boston? I'm terrified of moving to a big city, so commuting seemed like a viable option o.0

Congrats man !

Thanks sir Colin!

Yes, I wouldn't want to live in the busy heart of Boston because I'd probably get mugged and then run over by a bus every day. If anything, I'll try to get a place in the Providence-like suburbs outside of Boston.

Commuting is okay, except it's going to sap two hours of my life each way. That's an extra 4 hours of not doing anything per work day. But, I like the train just fine, and there are things one can do on a train. Reading. Sketching. Eating. Listening to music. Contemplating.

You still have a year though. Maybe when you graduate, some new form of transportation will have revolutionized the world. Hopefully something steam-powered.

HOLY CRAP I am so torn between happiness for you and evil evil greed since I'm all upset about you leaving ho boy what am I thinking.

But I mean, both of those sides can agree at least on saying CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks Ayla

Yeah, I'm feeling the same way, both excited and sad. Part of me feels like I'm going on an epic journey, something to do with a ring, or a horcrux, or a horcrux ring... they're basically the same thing.

But there's also fear, anxiety, sadness.

It's bittersweet.

Congratulations! I too am already sad about you moving. Maybe you don't have to. Ayla and I met a lady today who commutes from Boston to URI several days a week...at 5 am.
So you can too dammit.
