I can has job! \0/

[squirelawrence]

Got a call this morning from the Federal Public Defender's Office, asking me what start date I wanted. I think that qualifies as an official job offer. *snerk*

They're supposed to email me the formal letter (including my salary) tomorrow. I also get to go to Carmax tomorrow and purchase a car, so I can drive to North Carolina and apartment shop before I have to move in two weeks. Gonna be a busy couple of weeks.

So, for all those in the DC and Baltimore area - I'll miss you! Hope all stays well for you here, but I need to get back to court, and that seems to mean back to North Carolina. On the other hand, the apartment I'm hoping to get is a block from the local Amtrak station, so hopefully I'll be back soon and often.

Wow, congratulations! I hope everything is awesome. :)

(sorry, awkward sentence ugh)

[squirelawrence]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it - it may not quite be my dream job (we'll see - it's got potential), but it should at the least be both educational and interesting.

Oh man, congratulations!!

I'm sure D&S would be happy to put you up for the occasional S&B. *g*

[squirelawrence]

*grin* Sadly, my start date is currently May 9, so the day after what will (presumably) be the next S&B! I'm hoping I'll be up here that Saturday for MD Sheep & Wool, but I suspect I'd better be back in NC that Sunday to rest before my first day of work!

Oh, congrats! I'm sad to see you go, but glad you got the job. <3

[squirelawrence]

Yay! Thanks!

[beatrice_otter]

yay! Job is good. And can I just say, I love your icon?

[squirelawrence]

*grin* Thanks! Job is very good - I've been unemployed for long enough. And yeah - I'm tremendously fond of Marcus - need to do a B5 rewatch, soon.

I can't begin to tell you how unfair I find it that you're moving away mere weeks before I move there. I shall pout.

Also, congratulations!

[squirelawrence]

Yay! Thanks - been running around like a beheaded chicken since. Bought a car, drove to NC to apartment hunt, etc. So tired.

Congrats and good luck!

[squirelawrence]

Thanks! Now all I need is an apartment!

You remember that paper bag everyone told you to breathe into while you were house-buying? Can I borrow it? :-)

[synecdochic]

I actually have DW-branded paper bags that were sent to me as a gift back in early '09 when we were gearing up to launch. I will see if I can find them and give you one. :)
