Let's start with me because obvi. This is my blog and as you've just read the first sentence, you can deduce that I'm a fairly self-absorbed person.
I got a job! One that isn't retail! I actually kept the retail job because this job is paying me about the same as retail, but no matter! I started on Monday as the receptionist for a great talent agency. I'm amped about this position for a few reasons:
1. I don't have to scream "WELCOME LADIES!!!" every time someone walks in the door.
2. The receptionist position here is equivalent to mailroom positions that old timers tell anecdotes about. "Oh I started in the mailroom here in 1984 and worked my way up to the corner office!"
3. It seems like people either get promoted or get other great positions within a few months of starting (*Cue "Jeffersons" theme song*).
I'm not sure that I want to be some Ari Gold super-agent, but I know that having a reputable talent agency on your resume will open so many doors. The work itself is a little "Devil Wears Prada" in that you can't really leave the desk for any reason. Every phone call has to be answered. For that reason there are two receptionists, but they're thinking about just trying one receptionist and having interns do all the fetching. The only thing they can't fetch for me is a toilet, so I guess a chamber toilet will have to suffice.
But enough about peeing in pots. One of my best friends in the world is getting married! She met the guy and immediately knew that he was her future husband. Feel free to squeal. They're going to have adorable children who are all fluent in the 10 languages they each know. I'm so happy for them!!
I'm having a realization that my friends and I are transitioning into new, more adult phases of our lives. So surreal. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my Netflix "Dawson's Creek" marathon. Aaand I'm back to my old self.
