Things are looking up.

I have been offered a job with ConHugeCo. Not the one I first interviewed for, but the one I got referred to because I impressed the interviewer.

And I've accepted.

It won't be riveting work, but it's good, and it pays quite a bit more than I'm earning now. Part of that is the longer schedule, but in this case I think it'll actually help. It's a 10-6, M-F schedule, and I intend to use the extra time in the morning to write. A scheduled, set time that's just for writing will help me get off my butt and finish this revision. My commute has also been halved.

There are two potential downsides I can currently see: I may have to work a bunch of overtime at certain times of the year, and there's a big bookstore nearby. As in three blocks away. Huuuuge bookstore. Calling to me.

My current employer wants me to stay a whole month before heading over to ConHugeCo. I'ma thinking no.

Excellent. I also work within the shadow of that very same huge bookstore, and the slightly smaller one down the street.

This also means that soon we'll be working about five feet from one another (give or take) so we should occasionally meet for lunch, if that's the sort of thing for which your job will allow.

Lunch would be great. You'll have to tell me which are the good places to eat around there.
