Hired.

Who would've thunk that I'd land me a new job in record time. Never mind that I was secretly (or not-so-secretly) hoping to have a brief and torrid stint of unemployment for an excusable but undetermined period of time after the summer, but this was not to be. My lovely and long-time college mate, co-worker and friend helped me hurtle my jet-lag and reverse culture shock by encouraging me to [quickly] apply for a position with her employer of choice, SirsiDynix. Never mind that the name kind of sounds like a place that might  manufacture robots (it doesn't). Long story short, I applied, interviewed, and had an offer for a marketing position within 24 hours. I feel lucky. Overwhelmed. Excited. Nervous. And refreshingly, hired.

And just like that, I'm a working girl once more.
