The One in which I get a Job


Hello all,
 I'm writing this to you from the past because I wanted to tell you all about my job but I didn't want to say  anything about it until the papers were signed, so this post has been saved on my desktop for the past three days. Hopefully, the future finds you well. 

I hope you guys had a good break because I sure did. I mean, sure, it rained and I had a take-home midterm to work on BUT I also got a job. Yep, I have a big girl job all lined up and it starts the Monday after graduation.[1]

So where is this job, you say? Why it’s at MitchellCommunications Group here in Fayetteville. I’ll be working in research, which is actually pretty perfect for me. Because as most of you know I like breaking down all things in to their little parts so I can better examine them.[2]

Outside of getting a job, I got to visit family and see my niece and nephew, which is always awesome. I also got to do some shopping and may (or may not) have bought 4 pairs of new shoes. It happens.

Classes are moving along. We had a big test in Strategic Management before Spring Break and I found out that score and I have safe B.[3] Enterprise Systems is fun and I’m gaining some more exposure to the different Business Intelligence softwares out there. Grant Writing is great! I love working with Life Styles and I’m really excited about the program that I’m writing a grant for. Finally, Project Management is an interesting course and I like the group I’m working with but I just wish it wasn’t so long. My Tuesday’s are soooo long with that 3-hour class from 6 to 9 pm.
Alright, that’s it for today. I’ll leave with you with this video to celebrate my job and Spring.



[1] Actually, I start working part-time next week so I can get onboarded before I start full-time.
[2] However, it will still take me a while to not associate my job with the David Foster Wallace short story “Mister Squishy.” Go read it. In fact, go read any David Foster Wallace.
[3] You’ll learn to love those in the MBA program.
