And yes, this was the job that made me interview four times. Four interviews, plus a background check. For a part-time job. But I get my own office! With pretty views of downtown! Woo!

The background check finally came through

Glad to hear that youthful bank robbery spree slipped under the radar. I'm impressed.

(congrats)

Thanks, all!

Carmina, it's at Market and 2nd street, so kinda sorta near Chinatown. And I have been wanting to go to the House of Nanking for years; I have no idea why I never get myself over there. (Well, yes, I do, it's because it's near one of my favoritest Italian restaurants ever, and once I get anywhere near that neighborhood I start craving grilled radicchio wrapped in prosciutto. Which is not very Chinese.)

I was weirdly worried about the background check. Like they were going to dig up something I had forgotten I'd done.

Anyway, it seems like a super-cool job that will use all my super-cool skills in super-cool ways, and the office seems filled with super-cool people who like to debate a lot of things, so, in a way, I can think of the last months I've wasted on MetaFilter as training. :)

Yay, good news for you occhi. New apartment, new job, now all you need is a new cat.
posted by essexjan 15 March | 18:45
That was a cruel, cruel thing to do, essexjan. :)

Actually, that first kitty looks a bit like my cat.
