MEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Remember that scene in Legally Blonde when Elle gets the internship? I hope you do, otherwise that title makes no sense.

I feel like that right now.

I got a new job. An absolutely kick-ass new job. A job so amazing, that if it were possible to be jealous of yourself I would be. I am not going to go in to tons of details, but it is working for an awesome, innovative company whose work I believe in. The job is low on the totem pole but there is a ton of room for growth. Plus I work at home most of the time, get more vacation, and more money.

Somebody pinch me.

I feel like I am FINALLY starting my adult life. I finally have a direction for all my ambition. I finally have something I can throw myself in to and care about. There are no words for what that does for my mental health.

This means a lot of changes in my life. I will have to learn to work from home and be self motivated. I may ask WS to move in with me. I can start paying off more debts and saving more money.

Of course, it also means leaving my current job. My boss is out of town so I have not given my notice yet. That thought makes me want to throw up. This is such a small, family-type company, and I love these people. I don't want anyone to hate me. They won't see it coming. I wasn't looking, the job literally came out of nowhere. It was the Universe finally throwing me a bone. If anyone has any words of wisdom on quitting, let me know!!

I am really sorry for being a shitty blogger the past few weeks. It was our busy work time and then when this came up I didn't know what to do. I wanted it so badly that my life froze. I couldn't do laundry, couldn't think about my social life, nothing, until I knew what direction my life was going to go in. But I am back! For good! I promise to do better.
