HOLY CRAP

GUYS I HAVE A JOB!

ONE THAT WILL NOT LEAVE ME DESTITUTE OR MORALLESS IN THE COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS.

I HAVE A JOB!!!!!

And now I'm going to be late to the one I have.

Edit: So, since my family yelled at me for a similarly uninformative voice mail I left for them, the situation is this: the lawyers I interviewed with yesterday called me this afternoon to offer me the job, something like 20 minutes after I sent them my thank-you-for-interviewing me e-mails. Which is kind of crazy, but the guy who interviewed me had told me that they were looking to get someone in quickly, and that I was near the top of the list. And the two partners I talked to kind of won me over by being laid-back, unpretentious, and actually kind of funny, so it wasn't all that hard to say yes when they offered me a salary only $500 below what I was planning to argue down from and health insurance after a month. Plus paid days off within the next 6 months (it would still be 11 months before I got any days off at the bank, just for comparison). So! All in all I am rather happy with this turn of events. But I start Monday, and that means I will be working two jobs concurrently until the end of the month and holy crap, that might just kill me. But in a financially solvent and able to pay my rent and eat sort of way.
