No more grapefruit vodka for me

I wanted to let you all know that I am soon to be an employed librarian again. I officially accepted a job offer yesterday and my start date is 7/14. I'll be working at a mid-sized university about 30 minutes from where I've been living. I may decide to move closer to campus at some point in the future, but for now I'll be commuting.

This is in every way a better position than the one I had. Better pay, higher status, more opportunities for development, on-site access to caffeinated beverages, and a location in a newly constructed library that isn't run down or overcrowded (yet).

Job Hunt Statistics:

Time since first application submitted: 3 months
Total applications submitted: 13
Rejections, to date: 2
Telephone interviews: 3
In-person interviews: 1
Losers who never even sent a "we've received your application" notice: 4

It must have been bad if you were on the grapefruit vodka. Congratulations!

Congrats, Kelly! Woo hoo!

Don't worry Annie, my vodka consumption was purely metaphorical.

I have been eating plenty of literal chocolate, although I tend to do that anyway.
