The day before we left for Vegas I accepted a job. I am freaking out. Seriously, I can't even.
The interview was in three parts: phone, person one and person two. In three consecutive days. I kind of like that it went so quickly, no possibility of hyper-focusing. And that I immediately left on vacation afterward so I couldn't have a complete meltdown.
Details:
Private sector job. This is the first private sector job I've held as a grown-up. I've always worked in the non-profit world. I'm assuming it's not terribly different but there's sure to be some differences.
Full-time. I know, I know, I know. I'm going to try it, knowing that it might/probably be a failure. I am panicking about that and about not having time on my hands that I've become accustomed to with working part time.
Wage & Benefits are the same as my old job. I'm starting over with vacation days but that's not an issue for me so much. This is part of the reason I accepted the job.
Nerds. My first interviewer used a Sheldon pen (Big Bang Theory) that talks. "Bazinga!"
My second interviewer is a Trekkie and a Doctor Who fan. As are all the office staff.
Nerf Guns. I will be issued a nerf gun.
What the What. I'm a coordinator. It's a new position so they don't even really know what I'll be doing day to day. This could be great and could suck. We'll see.
It's for a security company (locksmith, security & fire suppression systems)
Weird. They were a vendor I used at my old job.
So, December first begins a new adventure. We shall see.

Congratulations!
Favorite part: "Nerf Guns. I will be issued a nerf gun."
Here from Swistle and am DYING to know how the job is going! What role does the Nerf gun play in your day-to-day?!
Also, where does one find a Bazinga pen, because I have a relative who needs that.
