Here we go again

This was supposed to be a thing I did, an account of my experiences looking for jobs after graduating college. I failed. But I have a job! It's an 18-month contract at Lilly, a pharmaceutical company. I'm a new contract technical writer for them, meaning I was hired by an outside company and will be paid by them for my work here--work study on a larger scale, basically. And though the work is boring, the hours, the people, and the food are amazing.

So I got lucky. I know a lot of my friends are struggling to find permanent positions, I know a lot of them worked hard to get their positions--I got lucky in the fact that a recruiter found my resume online and contacted me with this job and I got it, easy peasy. I know people are happy for me, which is cool, because I've had a lot of trough breaks over the years, and I know that I went back to an event for the lit mag I ran to see how the new staff is doing and the faculty adviser/former professor of mine told me he basically expected me to still be jobless. That'll happen, I guess. If you're an asshole.

Point being--wait, there is no point. I'M A MOTHERFUCKING WORKING WOMAN NOW BITCHES. And now that I have a set schedule and internet access and a cool computer with me at all time, I will be blogging. And if I don't, I will get in trouble with myself. Like no Otis Spunkmeyer cookies for a week or something (and if you think that's not good enough, you obviously haven't had one of their cookies fresh and hot). These are topics I will be covering:

  • Life
  • how my life is changing
  • the quarter life crisis I'm currently in
  • why it's sad I don't have a smart phone yet
  • friends
  • family
  • advice
  • shit I like (movies, books music, TV, coffee, more!)
  • and all those good things.
So. If you're reading this, I promise to come back. And be more entertaining. I've been up since 6. give me a break.
