That sounds super sweet indeed!

You wanna go see that Ecstacy exhibit over at the MOCA next weekend?

Yeah the journey is paying off. I was fortunate enough to get handed an assistant job in a corporate publishing art dept right out of school. Of course I had to work as an intern for a year.

I guess it goes to show nothing last forever.
