A New Me

Hi, I'm back.  Some things are changing and I want to write about them.  This seems as good a place as any.  I've missed writing here.  I've missed my neighbors, reading new things, and discovering new people.  I'm cleaning up a bit by deleting useless posts.

I'm done with grad school.  No, I didn't graduate, I just know now that Speech-Language Pathology is not for me.  This happened on Wednesday, and I've been having a hard time letting it all sink in.  It still doesn't feel exactly real yet.  I am going back to my love of tech support and web design.  I do want to stay in DC.  I had a job interview at a small tech support firm today that went very well.

I really want to work there.  The atmosphere is so relaxed, yet it's obvious that they work hard.  Since it's so small it's very team oriented and close-knit, which I like.  They've also made the interview process surprisingly fun.  The ad I responded to requested a personal cover letter and to avoid a stock resume.  I saw it Tuesday night and had to apply right away.  Writing the cover letter was very refreshing just to get everything out about why I wasn't interested in speech anymore and why I wanted to get back into tech support.  I put a few humorous bits into my resume which the person doing the hiring commented that he enjoyed.  It sounds like they are interviewing a lot of people and from what I could deduce hiring only one.  I tried my best to make myself stand out but it's hard.  I don't think I've ever wanted a job quite this much.  The interviewer said they were doing interviews until Wednesday and then if I was hired, he'd call.  And if not...no call.

Here's hoping.

Now I just have to get Nick up so we can head over to Georgia Brown's before it's too late!
