well now

oh, so i've forgot to mention ...

i've got a new job! remember that interview i had last week? apparently, it didn't go as horribly as i thought. on tuesday, my current supervisor at my current freelance gig told me i wouldn't be needed after thursday (technically, right now). at first, i was a little angry and depressed because, well, i gave them fucking two weeks notice, and they're giving me two days?!?! and, also, the depression because, well, the people there i'm still friends with (i.e., the account services gals).

but after my supervisor told me my last day was thursday, i saw that i had missed a call on my cell phone. and it was the hr lady from the interview from last week. so i called her back. and she said that her and the hot creative director had discussed it and thought i was the best person for the job, but that my current freelance work was a conflict of interest. after i got over the initial "the hot creative director talked about me, giggle" factor, i said, well, that conflict of interest will no longer exist. and then it was, well, tell me your freelance rate, i said it, she accepted, and i now i start my new freelance gig at a better place on monday.

and i'm completely excited about it. i get to work downtown in a place that looks like an actual ad agency with people that seem really, really nice. maybe all of that will change after i've been there for a month, or maybe it won't. but i'm excited about how well this has all turned out, and maybe that's a sign that things are finally going to go well for me. but who knows. it's hard enough that i'm trying to be optimistic, so bear with me here. and yeah, i'll probably be looking for other work to complement this work because it's only part-time, but this is still a great opportunity.

ok, i'm tired of being optimistic. time to sleep. but, really, i'm excited. and it's been a long time since that's actually happened. yay?
