I have a new job!

I start next week! Or I start in two months. That part is undecided. And actually, it's not decided yet which job I get because it is internal redeployment. And actually, I don't even know if I get a say in what job I want. But either way, I will be employed, and I am happy about that. I'm so glad someone decided they want me on their team! And once we figure out the rules of internal redeployment, I will know when and where I will be going. :)

So I guess it's technically not official. But I feel pretty decent about how it's going to work out. Either job would be okay - I'd kind of prefer the job that would have me working more with a team of peers and would also allow some flexibility in work hours. But in the other job I'd be working with some senior-level engineers and probably learn a lot, plus they have a brand new pretty building to work in.

Oh, and both commutes are equally bad, both positions are on-site only (no telecommuting), and the basics of the offers would be the same - it's just the actual job that differs.

Shallow, I Know

But sometimes it's fun to be shallow. Like today. Today was a little rough at first - I had my 4th job interview (but no offers yet) and this job would probably be pretty tough. Plus, since we're in "redeployment," I have to take the first job offer I get. I don't even know which one I would want, and I don't know if anyone wants me. Sigh.

So, on to the shallow stuff. I stopped at mom's house and she thought my hair looked really great today. I had her take a picture, but when I got home and looked in the mirror I had to pull out my own camera because she was right! Today is a good hair day.

And that last picture, besides being at a totally strange angle that I never see myself from which seems to make my nose stand out prominently, also made me start to wonder: at what point do I have to change my eye color on my driver's license from brown to something else? Is it when all the brown is gone from my iris? Because today it looks like I'm halfway there.
