OMG OMG OMG/ The company I interviewed with for an intern position wants to hire me FULL-FREAKING TIME as a SENIOR ACCOUNT executive. OMG OMG OMG.
This has to be some sort of dream. The question I was afraid to answer until yesterday demands an answer right now. This is surreal. This morning I was just bemoaning how I was going to make ends meet with my meagre freelancer's pay, especially with the new apartment costs and subsequent costs. And here in my email box is the offer.
I will vacillate, I will ponder, I will ask for umpteen opinions but deep down I know I have already accepted the position. I wonder if I should feel like I sold my soul- but no. I haven't accepted this position for the money, heck, I don't even know how much they are offering me right now. But I DO know, even though I may not get to write/write, I am going to enjoy this job very much.
I have to be pretty darned good if they are jumping me over two positions and hiring me as a senior ex, when I interviewed for only an internship. My dad's advice, take it, writing is something you can always get back to. He is right. Besides, I started my other blog as an outlet to write and it can continue to be that. This job is just so exciting-- I will be working on re-branding and image strategy for retail companies that aren't making enough profits. It involves traveling (yoohoo!) research (yay!) definitely writing and giving presentations, to convince the client that I WILL indeed help them generate more business.
Whatever said and done, the relief of knowing that I will have a steady paycheck coming in every two weeks and that I will have a fixed office space for atleast more than a year, is uncompared to anything else. I don't want to count my chickens befor they hatch but what the hell, I'm allowed to feel a little good about myself and this unexpected but pleasant turn!!
I will continue my writing gigs with a couple mags but I will cut down on all the "free-work" I do.
AHhhh. that was the longest exhale of my life!!

Hi, Neat post. There's a problem with your website in internet explorer, could check this? IE still is the market leader and a large portion of other people will omit your excellent writing because of this problem.
