I'm official

Okay, so it's been a long, long, long time since I posted. That being due to the fact that I've finally graduated into the real world. I got a job! A real one. One that pays the bills... all of them.... with money left over for me to eat. It wasn't until after I landed a job that I really felt like I graduated. That's probably because my mom told me that getting a job was the last step of truly being a graduate ( I think she just said that to encourage me to keep the job search going). It's a shame how starving college kids turn into starving "real-world" adults without any real turn around time and it didn't help that I graduated into the dreaded RECESSION. So quickly one acquires a certain stigma. What once was family members and friends showering you with monetary gifts because they knew you were a broke college student turns into snubs from the same people when you become a graduate. I was still starving and poor but because I'm not a student I can't get no love? Anyway, I know that's how the world works. After all with a degree I am capable of finding my place right? Still, I was hungry folks. I was used to having no extra money but never was I used to not being able to afford food. That's a basic necessity! I thought people always had money for food. How wrong was I? So now, after three long or short months depends on how you look at it, I finally have a job that pays the bills! So I've been spending the past few weeks applying, getting hired, going through orientation, training, decorating my new office (yes, my own office) and generally settling in. Now that I'm official expect to hear more from me....
