I had a brand-new life experience today. I gave notice at my job. I was really nervous, but everyone has been super-gracious and happy for me. Grrrbear, if you thought you had friends at awesome media organizations before, hoooooo-boy-baby will you be impressed now. Everybody who cares, send me an e-mail and I'll tell ya where it is. I start April 23.
Now that I'm official, my editor-to-be has invited me to a party at the office next Friday. She says the last time this host threw a party, it involved a life-sized ice sculpture of a seal. I'll be taking my camera.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so glad all the "signs look good" translated into "it's going to happen"!!
*snoopydance*
Me too!! Because how dumb would I look if I had to be all, uh, wait, no, they don't want to hire me.
I'd like to now paste in some of the e-mailed responses. :)
J.Vo: shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppp!
J.P.: Oh...my...god...are you going to work for the [funny nickname of my new employer]!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
J.Bro: I spent the whole day pondering what media outfit these sly clues might be referring to, and it just came to me - Boy's Life - The Official Magazine for Scouts! You're certainly right that it's a step up from wastes of trees like [my current employer] or [my new employer]!
HOLY COW, that's HUGE!!!!! are you still going to be in D.C.?
Yay, TOWWAS! I'm curious now about the funny nickname of your new employer. Maybe I'll use it when people from out of town come to visit, and we walk by the impressive-looking headquarters of your new employer, and I say casually, "Oh, and here's [TOWWAS's employer]. My friend TOWWAS works there."
Wunderschön!
My big toe told me this would happen -- and my big toe has never been wrong. (Well, once -- but that's another story.) I'm really happy for you, keed.
Of a summer day, I used to Metro down to the Circle, lie under a tree, soak up the rays and journalize. (Journalize?) Really good vibes...
I'm already a subscriber; will anxiously await your prose!
