I HAVE A JOB OFFER

A MOTHERFUCKING JOB

I NO LONGER FAIL ADULTHOOD FOREVER

Details to be discussed Monday--it is basically three jobs rolled into one. Programming/tinkering with data-collection software for development/public-health/etc surveys in third world countries, shipping out to the countries themselves to help set up the software and train people how to use it, then whacking the results into shape once they come in and tabulating them prettily to send off to USAID and various other statistics agencies. So I get varied work that is actually useful, I get to travel to interesting places, and I get to use my French and possibly get paid to learn Russian or Arabic. Win.

Oh, and money. WOO, financial independence and no longer having to mooch off my parents.

WOW. That sounds like an amazing job!

Thanks! I am super-looking forward to it.

:D Thank you!

Awesome!!!!

(also, I may have a bedroom in my apartment available October 1. Let me know if you're interested, since you were last time around.)

(Possibly! I may have another possible flatmate situation, but it is all completely up in the air and I need to find out tomorrow how much they're going to pay me. Will keep you posted.)

[identity profile] mmebahorel.livejournal.com 2011-08-22 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm giving you first dibs before I post on Craigslist, but I'm not posting until after 1 September or until I have absolute confirmation that my roommate is definitely leaving by 1 October.

And Friday, I'm buying you sorbetto at Pitango to celebrate this whole responsible adult real world stuff :)

[identity profile] 10littlebullets.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Argh, I could swear this comment posted but LJ must've eaten it while it was hiccuping last night. Anyway, I intend to celebrate responsible real world stuff (and having money) by buying you all gelato. And also that Other Possible Flatmate Situation will probably not materialize for another six months or so, so a tentative yes on the room, and also is there any furniture you need? Because my parents are trying to fob off spare couches, bookshelves, end tables, etc. on me.

[identity profile] mmebahorel.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
We're actually all set on furniture for common areas - you'd just need to furnish your own room. We'll talk in person about all the details.

See you Friday!

Congratulations! It seems like everyone I know is finding a job and I'm glad for us all. :D

[identity profile] 10littlebullets.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I just hope the trend continues for everyone else I know who's being kicked around by the job market lately.

YAY. Excellent!

(Will your being an awesome adult interfere with going to Dragon*Con, though? Mostly I am asking for logistical purposes, but also I want to seeeee you.)

[identity profile] 10littlebullets.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
:D

(I don't think so! They haven't given me a start date, but at the interview they asked about prior commitments and availability, and when I said "a couple days on either side of Labor Day weekend?" they were like "oh, that's all? Great!")

Squeeful hugs and gleeful congratulations!

Have you worked out yet how you're spending your first paycheck ;)

[identity profile] 10littlebullets.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeeee, thanks! *tackleglomp*

I should probably be responsible and put it towards an apartment or replenishing my savings, but as soon as I've got a budget worked out, any surplus cash flow goes towards either theater tickets or a subwoofer for my car. :)

AAAAH THAT IS SO AWESOME :D Congratulations, I know you'll kick ass at it!

[identity profile] 10littlebullets.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thaaaanks! I still feel like I'm going to walk in and they'll go "Haha just kidding, good try at impersonating an adult though!"

FUCK YES YOU GOT IT I KNEW YOU WOULD GET AN AWESOME JOB

I'm so excited for yoooouuuuuuuuu! You have to keep me up to date on all the details like where you might live and where you're gonna travel first and you should CELEBRATE. GO FORTH, and make our NYC adventures PALE IN COMPARISON. With less risking of your life, please.

That sounds like a kickass job! Congrats!
