And it’s a 40% increase in salary over my last job. 50% if we’re talking about my last actually long-term employer. Jesus Christ I’m so happy.

It’s in NYC!!! I’ll be working out of the Empire State Building, which is pretty cool.

I’m excited to be able to strong arm my older brother into getting lunch with me, since he works nearby.

YOOOO SO COOL

GOOD FOR YOU

I go to NYC semi-often bc my bff lives there so obv we should get lunch or something next time I visit

effervescible: buddy are you still in the area we should hang out

ALSO THANK U BOTH

IM V EXCITED

I SURE AM I would love to hang

this whole process was wild, four interviews, and then they didn’t hire me for the position I interviewed for but CREATED A NEW POSITION FOR ME because they liked my skills

effervescible: do you

holy shit you must have impressed the shit out of them

wanna go to the ren faire again

YEAH

FUCK YES

IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS ALL SUMMER NO JOKE

effervescible: BUT YEAH APPARENTLY THAT WAS THE CASE

I'm going at least twice this year, the second trip is already shaping up to be me and a couple of people I met through rp/rped with at one point so maybe that should be the full theme

ONE SHOULD ALWAYS THINK OF RENFAIRE. They jacked prices because of covid but it's still fun af.

YOU SHOULD FEEL SO MUG

SMUG, EVEN

my now-boss told me he basically was so impressed by my range of skills that he thought I could be better utilized in a different way, and they’ve never had this role before, but they wanted to play to my strengths

effervescible: that’s incredible let the theme continue

JUST LMK WHEN YOU WANNA GO BOO MY WEEKENDS ARE OPEN except for one where I’m going to the dentist BUT THATS IT lmao

effervescible: I feel mug indeed

GOD I DUNNO

Awesome, that's great!!

IM JUST SO SHOCKED? When I started putting applications out in June I thought it would be really rough but things just kind of fell into place

if you gimme a preferred email I can probably just loop erryone in to see when is good

so you're moving to NYC?

Apparently it remains true that people don’t know how to write and want others to do it for them

Intercession: sooooooooo

lmao that is always true

PROUD!!!!!

Well first of all thank you! Second of all I live here HAHAHAHA

I have a bad habit of downplaying my own writing skills and then I have to edit someone else and I'm like "never mind"

I moved back to NJ last year and home base is like, 30 min outside NYC

Oh! I hadn't known you moved back to NJ. For some reason I thought it was elsewhere

nirnroot: TYSM!!!!! CRIES INTO MY CHEERIOS

CONGRATS OMGGGGG

Intercession: no it’s totally okay! Honestly considering how little I use plurk these days I can’t blame anyone for not knowing TOTALLY don’t worry about it

crepusculae: THANK YOU BUT ALSO CONGRATS TO YOU HOLY SHIT????? I SAW THE NEWS ON TWITTER

When I take my trip up to NYC later this year, we'll just have to have lunch or something

effervescible: oh my god that’s so real, the moment you see other peoples PROFESSIONAL WRITING and you’re like oh I’m fine

ALSO EMAIL just use my 27572726472 year old RP email I still check it regularly, lonelydecember @ gmail

Intercession: YOUR WHAT

ID LOVE TO SEE YOU OMG

I guess we all don't know what we know until we see someone else and know for sure that they don't know

We'll make it happen!

awww thanks bb!!

HELL YE

crepusculae: YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL AND IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!

DrFishbone: TYSM!!!!!!!

effervescible: truly.

I think I also felt like my skills weren’t that ... good? or ... I dunno I was just shocked by the response I got from companies, and then this... it’s just very validating I guess, that my skills and experience have value

so this is a nice early birthday present

I have no idea how many people remember my high school BFF Keith but this is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week fuck

god. I, too, do everything in my life gayly and under duress

SLIDES IN THROUGH THE DOOR ESB????
