I'm at my new job! →[More:]

And I've already committed my first illicit act: that's right, by comming to MeCha.

Whuffles to all, and wish me luck!

This job effortlessly fell into my lap very soon after I got laid off. I rock.

It's a design position at a well-establish interior design firm. This means I won't have to deal with snooty architects who think all I'm capable of doing is picking out furniture upholstery. And it's a relatively small firm, twelve or thirteen people, which means I'll get to wear a lot of hats and not just be an AutoCAD monkey.

Not that there's anything wrong with bein' a monkey.

I've missed you all very much! I won't be able to play much at work (this is a "real" job), but I now have dial-up on a laptop at home, so I can hang in the evenings.

Whuffles! (quietly)

Congrats again, Specklet!

Yay Specklet! That's great!

Good on you, Specklet.

yay!

Awesome, Specklet! Great to hear from you, and since you get to wear a lot of hats at your new job, might I suggest a rakish one? If you need an example I'll furnish one here.
posted by Hugh Janus 06 February | 13:54
Nice goin'. Don't get in trouble with MeCha on Day 1!
posted by Miko 06 February | 13:54
Hugh, that hat isn't rakish, it jaunty.
posted by jonmc 06 February | 13:55
Oh yeah, jaunty. I'm still sleepy. Maybe I need lunch.
posted by Hugh Janus 06 February | 13:57
Examples of hats are good. Today: only earbags.
posted by Specklet 06 February | 14:08
congrats and luck!

Lovely news, Speck! It sounds like a wonderful improvement.
posted by taz 06 February | 14:13
Hooray! Congrats Specklet!
posted by kosher_jenny 06 February | 14:20
Sounds like the job I'm heading into, Speck! Shipper-receiver at a design consultancy/retail firm, and jack-of-all-trades as I iron out the bugs and offload that SR work on a monkey.

So Specklet, do you get to yammer at your co-workers about X-refs? As a token liberal arts guy at an architecture firm (I do land-use and master planning), I feel so left out...
posted by pieisexactlythree 06 February | 15:44
Huzzah!
posted by deborah 06 February | 15:58
Yay Specklet!
posted by ooga_booga 06 February | 16:21
pie, exaaaactly. Things like x-refs and layer management and splines. Oh yeah, baby.
posted by Specklet 06 February | 16:48
Huzzah! Welcome back!!
posted by tr33hggr 06 February | 16:56
YAY Speck! And the more distance between yourself and architects, the better! And pie if ya wanna yammer about x-refs I can kick it widja. Land use & master planning sounds better than contract documents and redlines any day. I bet you even get to color!?
posted by chewatadistance 06 February | 17:37
Mmmm, splines.
posted by matildaben 06 February | 17:37
Shine on, you Crazy Specklet. I def advise to stay as far away from architects as is humanly possible. They are not of this Earth. (And not in the fun, ET way either).

I myself just finished my (hopefully) last interview for a spot at Matildaben's jobsite.

Cuz, I'm free! Free-fallin'!

You rock.
posted by Lipstick Thespian 06 February | 18:24
So, when is mygothlaundry's second interview?
posted by matildaben 06 February | 18:26
OMG, I haven't heard about splines since Sim City 2000 (which incidentally, sums up my job). Aw, who am I kidding, I chose my career because of Sim City!
posted by pieisexactlythree 06 February | 18:42
Ten minutes and out the door! First ever end o'the day at the new job.

And here I thought it was your nude job.
posted by warbaby 06 February | 19:45
B-splines are the only splines! I've still got my SIGGRAPH articles by the Killer Bees at Pixar from 1986.
