The Job

So I'm slow, fine. It's been almost a week since I got the call from Plexus that they want me to work for them. Yeah, I've been all secretive with the name (online, at least) for some unknown reason. I feel like companies don't usually search the Blogger for their company name, but I'm paranoid.

That said, I got the job. The job. The one that I've been excited about ever since my first round of interviews during which I enjoyed myself while being grilled by engineers and managers alike. I got a call on Friday with some details, then the actual offer letter itself on Tuesday. I had it signed and sent back by Wednesday. Now I just have to turn down the other two places that want me. I feel bad about saying no and I can't explain why. I'm not going to hurt the feelings of a corporation. I mean, what are they going to do, not hire me? Still, I feel some twinge of guilt whenever I think about having to respond with a resounding "no."

Of course, all it takes to cure that is a short bout of thinking about my next great adventure: I'm moving to Raleigh in June. I've been tweeting about this like mad, but I've either been busy, cold, or playing Altitude and therefore have failed to blog about it yet. (Yes, I have a hard time blogging when my hands are cold. Hush.) The big news about the move is that my sister has decided she wants to move with me, a fact I am both pleased and excited about. I'm making an attempt to find a use case for Google Wave by starting a wave with all the information I can think of regarding the move. I'm really trying, Wave, I am.

Of course, now that I know what's happening next, I want to be there. The next few months will be a practice in patience and perseverance as my desire to attend school diminishes along what will hopefully not be exponential decay.

I discovered what has become one of my favourite albums of all time in less than a week. Aim and Ignite by fun. It is an incredible album. Think of The Format only bigger. It's the same frontman, but fun. is a bigger, more unique sound. It's like what Queen would have sounded like if Freddie Mercury was a hipster. It is amazing. I can't really go on to describe it further except to say that I have been listening to little else this past week. Right now I am almost to 250 plays in the last 6 days. It is that incredible. If you like music at all, you need to check this album out. Need to. It's not optional.

I'm really short on words lately. The spring weather is starting to come back, and I love that the sun is out. I added Raleigh to my phone's weather widget simply because it makes me more excited whenever I check the weather. That, I suppose, is all I have for now.
