  • ZOMG DREAM JOB! (and it's MINE!)

    Like Lupo said in this thread here, I got my dream job today.

    I'll be co-managing a rather major wine store in the Upper Hudson Valley. This nearly doubles my current pay, puts me in a beautiful small town, and advances my career by leaps and bounds. The owners have connections not just IN the wine business, but outside as well, in the food, art, and literary worlds. I'll be learning not just wine, but how a small business should be run, with all the details laid out and handled.

    Tomorrow, the details get worked through and negotiated. Time to start looking for an apartment up there, and figuring out the move. Tonight, I squee, and toast Brooklyn. It's been a good city for me, but my life is moving forward.

            Thank you!

            After a bit of sleep, it feels completely unreal. I'm sorting out some of my negotiating points right now, so when they call, I'll be prepared.

            Guess it's time to start packing and cleaning!

                        ...

                        Holy crap.

                        I really have found my dream job.

                        I'm in heaven. I'm working harder than ever, and I couldn't be happier. Hell, I'm looking forward to the 10 day stint I have coming up at the end of May.

                        *settles contentedly*

                        I'm selling interesting wine around the country for a company that I actually believe in. Couldn't get better than this.

                            Yea, me too. I'm glad you found it, anyway. Congratulations.
