Exhale

Just a quick note to acknowledge the happy news that I received and accepted a job offer this morning, thus putting an end to a very long and difficult two years of my life.

Next week I’ll begin work as a UI Developer at a digital agency in downtown Boston. I have wanted to change careers and move in this direction for a very long time and it looks like the stars finally aligned for me after I learned how to be smarter and work harder for it. Hopefully I’ll now be in a better position to find work in the future.

Now to deal with a bit of bad luck. Last week I called my nice landlord to let him know that I could no longer afford the apartment I had lived in for five years. And then out of the blue I landed an interview followed by a surprise job offer. I called my landlord immediately, six days after I had first spoken to him, and learned that he had already rented the apartment.

Ah well. Given the choice between a job and an apartment, I’ll take it.

So here’s to new beginnings. And thanks for your support here when my hopes were wavering last week.
