I GOT A JOB!!

Many days I feel like my life is a Thought Catalog article: reminiscing about all the good things from the 90s, confirming all the stereotypes of going to an all girls Catholic school, feeding the never ending wanderlust.  A few month ago they posted an article on the 22 Things Everyone Does When They're Unemployed and I can honestly say I am guilty of several:

1. Sleep until noon (well maybe 10).

4. Finish whole seasons of TV shows at an expedited rate.  

Once I got a similar note to this one featured in an Onion article - guilty of a West Wing marathon(s).

6. Make light of the situation by calling it “funemployment” while you are secretly dying a little more inside every day.  Well my funemployment was pretty fun - giving bike tours of DC.

8. Bring your laptop to a café, hoping that the change of atmosphere will help you be more productive. 

Anyway I digress.  The real reason for this post is to announce that I have a real person job, with a real person paycheck and real person benefits.  At the ripe old age of 26 I have officially joined the work force (the goal was to find one before I turned 27 so just in time).  The countless hours spent pouring through job search databases and crafting the perfect resume and cover letter have paid off!  I start at the University of Maryland Medical Center in a few weeks!!
