i watch too much tv

i do. i watch tons. only 5 more weeks of that, though. then the giant monstrosity that sits in our living room will be gone forever. whew.

i suppose its ok to go ahead and post about the job i got since i start monday. i had two serious job offers in three business days and it was pretty cool to actually have both offers on the table at once. the teaching job became a backup the minute i learned the details. there was a major stipulation: the old teacher could come back at any time she wanted and i would be out of a job. again. also, despite the pay being better than my current one, i had no benefits and was essentially a scab. yeah. fuck being a scab.

so i took the editing job. they really wanted me and i must say it felt good to finally be wanted. i'll be starting next week and honestly i can't wait to get back to the having a job lifestyle. i know that sounds silly but at least i'll stay busy now. fuck a bunch of not having a job for 10 months. it appears i may have a chance to move up in the ranks pretty quickly, too. they want to expand their audience so they can be a truly international publication. how? by publishing reference guides in other languages. rock and roll. im going to enjoy this last free weekend. later.

first of all - congrats. sounds like you made the right choice. how long will the commute be?

second of all - what's happening w/ the tv? is a-hole moving out or something?

Fuckin yeah! Way to go, man. A big congrats and good luck to you from Boston.

And I think I know exactly what you mean about the working lifestyle. It can be kind of depressing if you start to think of it in terms of feeling like you NEED a job because "they" want you to have a job, but that's baloney if you like the job you're doing, anyway. I can say that I was only completely jobless when I first moved to Boston for 1 month, and then kind of employed another month, then got my full time job in November, and I was fucking READY for it at that point. There's a lot that goes into it, I guess. Anyway, congrats. Any thoughts on moving to the the 'Nasti when your lease is up? It seems like an ideal spot. Back in a city, around dudes like Ormo and Andrew (albeit married boring Andrew)...yet still pretty close to your family. Seems like a good kind of place, where you are. Congrats.
