I know I should be blogging more, but I have started to feel at times that I don't have much to say. DC is going okay. I'm interviewing. I've actually had more interviews here in less than 2 months than I had all year in NYC. For that I'm grateful. I was just about to be offered a position last week when I lost it due to a personal referral getting the job. Oh well, that means that it wasn't meant to be. I was anxious to get a job, but wasn't super excited about the job anyway.Then yesterday I was called by an agency I'd met with a few times, but had never contacted me about a position or to even check up. They had what sounded like a great position. After doing my homework on the company and executives, I started to get really interested and excited. The interview was this morning and it went great. In fact, so great that during the interview they asked me to come back on Monday to meet the rest of the people in the company. Now, of course, the company has to do their due diligence, and I am completely unwilling to get ahead of myself about any actual prospect of a PERMANENT and REAL ACTUAL job, BUTTTTTTTTTTT... (and sshhhhh, don't tell anyone) I'm REALLY excited about this position!
*The money is right
*The location is right
*The company is entrepreneurial and forward thinking
*It's a small office
*The perks are great and the people seem fantastic
But again, let me emphasize that I am not counting my eggs as of yet. :-)
The weekend of November 13-15 R and I went to Boston for Julie and John's wedding. It was sensational. We took the Amtrak and it was cool to have that time together. We ate at Summer Shack on Friday night where we had oysters, clams, a 2 lb. lobster, mussels and lobster and pumpkin bisque. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! From there we drove off to Tewksbury (ya, I'd never heard of it before either). Our hotel was great, until John called us over to his best man's room for some pre-wedding day cocktails and while walking back to our rooms realized the wedding couple was RIGHT NEXT DOOR to us! Those walls must be thick!
The wedding itself was beautiful and I was SO overjoyed to be able to share Julie's special day.
We took off to Boston the next day to spend the day wandering about before catching the Amtrak back at 3pm. I wish we'd had more time because Boston seems pretty cool.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and if you haven't already, vocalize what you're thankful for. Be it your family, friends, work, home or health. I've learned over the past year that it's not "things" that make you happy. There's so much more to life. I've also learned that no matter how bad I have it (and trust me, I don't have it good right now), I am better off than a lot of people. I have parents who are fortunate enough to help me out when I truly need it and great friends, even though they're mostly located in NYC.
Speaking OF, I did visit NYC for the first time last weekend since I moved. I just went for Friday night, but I was SO HAPPY to see Molly, Peri and Sheree. It was great to have a girl night out and I'm definitely going back soon so I can see ALL of my girls.
Much love.
