I was just offered, and accepted my position as a Records Analyst I. This means I am getting, for the first time in four years, medical and dental benefits, paid vacation and sick days, and a significant raise. (Though I won't see any or much of the raise, due to the mointain of deductions that follow from being a full employee.)
Wooo! I say! and Hoo!

I quit my job. Yesterday.
Do I have a new one? No.
Am I crazy? Quite possibly.
So, either (a) I will be even more dark than usually till Oct. 18th (my Jopacalypse) or (b) I'll be on all the time until Oct. 18th.
Time will tell.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My mail at greenchick.net has been wonky and bouncy in the extreme lately, so I've changed my profile addy until I get things straightened out. If you've tried to reach me and failed in the last few days, try again at the new address -- and accept my apologies.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Quick request for vibes--I just had an impromptu phone interview with one of the group of five I interviewed with on Tuesday. She seemed to want to make sure that a person as well-organized as myself would work well in a somewhat chaotic environment, and gave a specific example of a time where a previous occupant of a similar position hadn't been. The previous person sounded pretty damn unprofessional, IMO. I didn't say that exactly, but made it clear that I would've handled it differently.
I have to rush off to an afternoon class. Vibe me. Vibe me hard.
