Last day in Slackerville →[More:]So, remember that job possibility I whined about not wanting? Well, turns out I'm starting on Monday.

Turns out I really like what I saw of the company, and I guess they liked me too, because they made an offer I could find no rational reason to turn down. It's only about 150 people, so I don't feel so much like I'm selling my soul to the Man (at least like I did when I worked for a 60,000+ size company).

Although I'm dragging my feet as I head back to the workforce, I realize that I have much to be grateful for, including this wonderful year of finishing up my MFA, part-time freelancing, learning to cook, and general slacking. Before getting laid-off about a year ago, I was locked into a job that I hated and thought I'd be there and be miserable for the rest of my life -- this past year has taught me that isn't and doesn't have to be the case, a lesson for which I'm deeply thankful.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing I'm going to have a lot less time to hang out here with all y'all bunnies. So just wanted to say thanks for all the laughs, warm thoughts, interesting links, profound insights, and moving personal stories. And for helping my find my glasses. It's been a great place to hang out while home alone, coding & writing & procrastinating. And I really do want to make it to a meetup one of these days, so I'll keep my eyes out for announcements.
