enJOY it

There is a Sex and the City episode where pregnant Miranda finds out that she is having a boy.  And the doctor stares at her expectantly, waiting for a big, excited reaction.  And Miranda stares back at her before realizing she should be happy.  And then she exclaims "Oh! Boy oh boy, I am having a boy!"  And then the doctor smiles, relived.

I just did that.  Minus the sonogram.

Someone at work heard about an entry level assistant job with a huge company in New York.  There is a Trojan there who is looking to hire a USC graduate from the business school.  The starting pay is $100,000.  So I get presented with all of this information and then my informant stared at me expectantly.  And I remembered that $100k should excite me.  And I go, "Wow, that sounds like a great opportunity!" 

And it is.  Do not get me wrong.

Last year at this time I would have injured myself while trying to email off my resume and call Dad at the same time. 

But this year?  At this time?

I feel like there is something a little different in my future.  Something unknown.  With a smaller salary, but better life benefits.  It is so strange to feel so sure of something so unsure. 

So strange, but so calming.

If you are interested in this wonderful-but-not-for-me job and you go to USC, shoot me an email.  I told them I would pass on some names.
