It’s Still Very Much a Thrill to Receive a Letter Addressed as This:

….. hey, neat.
Even better when said letter contains…. AN OFFER LETTER!!
Whoooooo
That’s right, I’m moving on up in the world; as of a few weeks, and I’ll be working as an EMT right here in the city! No more 40 minute commute to the East Bay for this girl.
And, and, and… even better- this offer comes with a three dollar an hour raise! Peanuts for my high-rolling readers, perhaps… however that comes out to be a 32% raise, I’ll have you know. Not too shabby. I’ll take it!
Wish I could celebrate more, but I am sort of down and out with a pretty whopper of a cold (My timing of making a giant pot of Matzoh ball soup was spot on, right?). However, I am so, SO excited to get this great news this week. E and I have plans to celebrate with a mega sushi dinner as soon as I get my first paycheck.
