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.

(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.)

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

(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.)
no subject
(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!")

Have you worked out yet how you're spending your first paycheck ;)
no subject
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. :)
