Dear Internet,

Let me tell you a story.

In mid-September -- the permanent job market not having snapped up a recent college grad with a good GPA -- I took my very first temp job, in data processing, a combination between data checking and data entry. It's a job.

Recently, my other temp agency found me a position where I could speak German. Phone

I totally respect that. I wish I had that kind of self-awareness...I'd work at it for weeks with the pit in my stomach not doing anything about it.

Also, I hope to see you this weekend.

Absolutely! I can't wait to hear what you've been up to in that mythical land they call "not here". Carly and I and our men will be going Friday (party for afters...)
