i moved!



so, i finally made the big move from DC to Dayton and i gotta tell you, it might be the best thing i've ever done. yesterday i got my dream job as an administrative organizer for SEIU and i am all kinds of pumped about it. plus i'm living with my brother and sister-in-law and baby katie, and i have an insanely adorable boyfriend.

dream job! seriously, you guys. basically, i'll be providing support to union members, primarily nursing home workers and home health care workers, through contract negotiations, strikes, grievances, and lots of other labor-type issues. the people i will be working with are just super-chill, and here's how perfect the environment is for me: when the Super Big Boss interviewed me yesterday, it was so informal and we had such a good rapport that when he asked me, "what about you makes you perfect for this job?" i said, "i'm well-spoken, bossy, and easily outraged." and he said, "perfect!" man, this rules. i'm not sure when i'll start - probably next week sometime.

it's kind of crazy how most people stagnate in the midwest and move to a big city to make something of their lives...but i was stagnating in dc and now that i'm back, it's like i'm finally coming alive. rock on, midwest!
