I’m still processing this in little jolts of terror and elation. It’s like trying to look at the sun. I can’t stare at it directly. But I f*cking did it, so I thought I would share.
Approximately 10 weeks ago, in the midst of my life just taking a massive dump on me in what felt like increasingly horrible ways, stuck with no car on this f*cking mountain wishing I could die, my friend gave me a ride to an interview for a job I very badly wanted assisting a case manager in the disabilities field for a nonprofit. Three weeks later, I got an offer pending my paperwork and stuff. I had to acquire a car within the week in order to even go. A week or two later I did orientation.
That was four tumultuous-ass weeks ago. Well, last week they got word the other case manager who had been on leave was officially retiring, and they offered me the job. I signed the paperwork yesterday.
I am pissing myself, because this job isn’t just kind of what I’ve wanted but magically checks every box on my list for EXACTLY the designer job of my wildest dreams. It is unreal. I can’t even wrap my head around it. The only difference between what I wanted and what I got was the pay is notably higher than my imagination could conjure.
I don’t know how I did it, but I f*cking DID IT.
I have three posts in this forum: completing my master’s, getting married, and this one.
I don’t know how I did this shit.
