I GOT THE JOB!!!

That's right! I got the job I wanted, the best job I've interviewed for with the best people, the best location, and hell, even the best money!!!!

I was on the phone with the recruiting place, talking about the position I interviewed for yesterday. It was a decent sounding gig at a local bank, but nothing that blew my mind. After my interview, I knew I'd get an offer from them for sure, but I was hardly interested because I had been holding out for the Equity Fund.

Literally two seconds after I hung up with them, the phone rang again. I was hoping it wasn't the same place, wanting to bore me some more with their canned lines about my "goals" and my "expectations." It wasn't. It was the two girls I'd interviewed with at the fund, and they were so excited!

I honestly can't ask for a better deal. It's almost too good to be true. Great pay, full health benefits, 401(k) with 5% match, 2 weeks vacation, free parking, casual dress code, an awesome building on the landing right next to the metrolink. And they just need me to start by the 20th. I am thinking of taking next week off to get myself and my apartment all ready, and then starting on the 12th.

I can't wait!!!! I have been a smidge bored, and I am getting broke. But now, I will be able to pay off my stupid credit cards once and for all. And quite possibly get a new car. But regardless, at least I will be in a MUCH better situation than I was at Target. This is amazing!!! Time to bring on the bubbly!
