Newly Employed
So I was lying about the week-long hiatus.
I've just accepted a job in the Windy City which I'll start on Wednesday, July 28. Hooray for employment! I'm not going to talk about it on my blog, having decided that dooce's lesson learned is my lesson learned. I will tell you that it requires me to be there at 8 in the morning. Eight in the fucking morning. That means leaving my house about 7:00 a.m, which means getting up at… oh, shit. Early.
Besides the good fortune of gainful employment, this means I'll be leaving Hyde Park… five days a week. I'll have to take a combination of the Metra and El each day, making me feel like a real Chicagoan and not some South Side hermit who still can't find her way around downtown. I'll probably need to go ahead and budget a measurable portion of my paycheck to Istria Cafe (conveniently located under the 56th Street Metra Station), since I suspect a 20 oz. latte–maybe with an extra shot or three of espresso–will be necessary, at least for those first few weeks while my body groans under the strain of early mornings. What have I gotten myself into?

SOOOOOO…How was your first day back in Corporate America with the rest of us working stiffs? As miserable as you remembered it to be?
Hope you had a great first (paid) day of gainful employment.
