what a difference a day makes

At first, I was going to refrain from using such a goofy title, but I feel pretty happy right now.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a new job!

Pending my acceptance of the employment contract and a positive health screening, I will soon be employed as a Development and Building Coordinator (edit) for the City of Roanoke, Virginia.

I couldn’t be happier. My salary will be very similar to what I’ve been making at LMW, but it will be good to go somewhere different and do something different that still relates to design, albeit somewhat remotely at times.

I couldn’t be happier. My parents are ecstatic. Things seem to be going well for the first time in nearly two years.

True to form, there is also another possible offer on the table, received via telephone while I was out today. Why? Because life works like that.

I am supposed to talk to a cabinet manufacturer in town about a possible position. I’m not sure what it might entail, but unless he’s got a compelling argument to do otherwise, I will probably go with the City. We will see.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to all of you who read this blog. When I was at my lowest, all of you were there to lift me up, listening to my complaints and bitching, praying for me when I wasn’t smart enough to do it for myself. I don’t know what I would have done without you…all of you! To God goes the glory, but your works were important as well.

Keep your fingers crossed that things will work out. We’re almost there, y’all.
