I got the job! I got the freakin' job! How awesome is that. After much trial and tribulation (and I'll admit, even a little doubt) it finally came to light. If you only understood how much this was needed at this time in my life, and how I was almost at my wit's end, then you would understand my elation.
It all started with a phone call on my cell at 10am today:
Hello....
(him and I exchange pleasantries)
"Are you still looking for work?"
"Yeaaaah".
"Do you still wanna work at CNET."
"Yeaaaah".
"Well, I have great news...you've got the job! Are you excited?"
"Yeah, but I'm trying to keep my composure right now".
There was more conversation afterwards, but it's all semantics right now. LOL. All I can say is, I've never heard an employer sound so happy to give such good news to was once just a prospect. Usually it's a generic, somewhat monotone, and dry "You got the job. Come in on such and such a date" and that's the gist of it. I mean, he even did a "woohoo" on the phone. Come on. LOL.
So, of course, after our conversation I e-mailed everyone the great news. Two minutes after I sent the e-mail I get a call from one of my friends who opens not with a hello, but with a "Fuck yeah you got the job!" To which I replied, "I just sent out the e-mail out 2 minutes ago, you read it already?!" She says, "No, Julia read it and texted me the news. So I told Jen (another one of our friends) I had to hang up because Julz just got the job!" After I finished my conversation with my friend I called my mom at work. While on the phone with her I heard her say aloud "My Baby got the job, my baby got the job!" In the background I could faintly hear, "Congratulations!" and "YESSS, I knew she would." Then e-mails of congrats from everyone else, one of note saying, "WOOHOO...way to go sexy! made my day I can only imagine how you are feeling right about now! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU lol".
This is the kind of support I have and I wouldn't trade it for the world. With that said, I won't have to drink out of sorrow or disappointment like I had originally intended before this, but instead to celebrate.
So, starts my new venture and, finally, a career. Also, a way out of all the current mess and a beginning to my life at last. Wish me luck!
