Employment!

Hooray! One of my hundreds of job interviews finally paid off and I got myself a job! Starting this Wednesday I will be working at National Wind as an Administrative Assistant. I am very excited... of all of the jobs I have applied for in the past few months this is honestly the one I wanted the most, especially after I interviewed there the other day. Everyone there seems really cool, the job is interesting enough to keep me busy and keep me learning but it's also a lot that I already have done before so I won't be way in over my head. AND the building overlooks freaking Lake Calhoun. Beautiful. So, what I need to do is get a place in Uptown and I will ride my bike to this job and I will be very happy with my life. Deal! It is totally the kind of place for which I would like to be working too, working on renewable energy and community development.

I just found out that my boss from the Office of Civic Engagement, Casey, is resigning from her position. That is pretty insane... I can't imagine how that office will continue to function without her around. I think she has made the program strong enough during her years there that it will be able to persist even without her around to stand up for it... it's just hard to imagine is all.

Anyway. T'was a good day in general, I spent most of it hanging out with Larissa. The cats were being huge brats, we let them outside and they usually chill in the yard but today they were running into other yards and across the street! They totally know they are not supposed to, but they are cats, so they do what they want.

Tomorrow I am hanging out with my family to celebrate my dad's birthday, and then on Sunday we are hitting up the Renaissance Festival for a while. I'm pretty jazzed. Things are looking up!
