Woo hoo! The search for a job is officially over after I landed one this afternoon. I'll be working for a marketing company as an 'Assistant Project Manager'. What will I be doing? Doesn't matter to you; all that matters is that the job title sound awfully official and cool, like I spent multiple skill points leveling up my Awesomesauce.

The job is at a company run by my friend Scott's family. Everyone at the office is either related or a friend of the family, so it's an honor to be welcomed on board. Of course, it means Scott is my evil overlord, but that's not going to be a problem.

The interview itself was short and sweet, consisting of testing the likelihood that I actually type 100+ words a minute (which I totally do) and my thoughts on what type of tree I might be (old growth redwood). I was actually impressed by how pleasant the whole thing was. Also nifty is that Scott's dad (who is also his boss) was willing to give me a chance, which is all I need. I'm hungry enough and resourceful enough to make anything work. I'm a bootstraps sorta kid when it comes to working, so all I need's a go-ahead and a little bit of training. It's funny too that Scott's dad sorta reminded me of how my own dad was at work -- a down-to-earth blood and guts practical guy who values performance over flash. Which I can get behind.

So basically I have to report to somebody I like and who in all likelihood I probably would have been friends in High School with (assuming I was less of a nerd, and had friends in High School) and work in a job that sounds pretty dang interesting. Not too shabby.

I start a week from this upcoming Monday, giving them enough time to find me a desk and computer. Personally, I can't wait!
