Got work? I do!

So, I’m finally employed! I've been saying all along that I want to work for the best in the business and I will be! I feel I'd be crazy to pass this up after interview after interview and tons of "We think you're great but..." second place finishes. And now that I know how long the hiring process takes and that these types of jobs don't exist in Pittsburgh, I'd be starting at square one all over again and I'd have to move to a new city before I could get a job.

I really, really love where I am at. There really isn't a typical day, chaos is the norm and things change at the drop of a hat. Everyday there is a new problem to solve and a new challenging experience to grab hold of. Consider this all I’ll ever say about work because I don’t want to end up like Jolie in NYC or Miss Washingonienne (although I would never do the stuff they did or get a book deal).

Yes, I’ll be living on the other side of the country. But, honestly, now is the time to do what I want and fulfill my wildest dreams. I'm in no rush to become boring. This is the time for me to be unconventional and experiential. Trying things I might never have the chance to do again. When else in life will I have such freedom? If I wait till my senior citizen retirement years, the experience won't be as cool or fun. There's nothing holding me back, there will never be a better time for me to pick up and go. I'm young, curious, and not to mention I'm childless and totally autonomous, when am I going to be this portable again?

Now, back to finding a place to live! Between getting the offer and leaving to go home, I didn’t have the time to look for a place to live. But luckily, two fabulous guys are storing my stuff in their apartment until I make my way back out there in a few weeks.

And the more I hear about the New Orleans, the worse it gets. I feel bad that I was complaining about rain and I don't have to deal with losing my home, friends or family. Keep them in your prayers and donate if you can.
