well, then

so, as some of you may know, i was looking for a job this spring, and then i had one last interview that i thought had gone awfully, and i posted here on a filter saying that i was done looking for jobs for a while and was just going to stick where i was for another year if not longer.

can you hear the foreshadowing music?

they called me back, and offered me the job (i was very confused. i was like "hello guy from company! you're not going to hire me so i don't understand why you're calling me. it's very polite to blow me off in person, though", but fortunately i only thought those things not said them because then he offered me the job.)

i start on the 25th. anyone else work in hopkins? anyone else live in st paul and work in hopkins because boy am i not looking forward to the commute?

also, we got a new dog.

also also, my sister and her boyfriend got engaged.

so, july has been a busy month.

what's up with you?

Calloo callay for goodness!

My best friend is rather spectacularly imploding, which sucks out loud. And there was some really irritating fuckery around my flight reservations earlier. But I had a customer service rock star on my side, and things got better. So right now I'm in Miami Beach for a really amazing conference, in a lovely room from which I can see water. And soon someone will bring me a sandwich, some fruit, a creme brulee, and some overpriced wine. And I'm watching a special on Harry Potter. So things could definitely be worse.
