Dance Party!!

Turns out that the dance party I had (by myself in my apartment) was totally warranted....I have been hired. HIRED!! 

This is good for a lot of reasons: 

1) I think working is great! I am passionate about the work this organization does and I think I'll be kick a** at my job. 

2) I like salaries. This is a HUGE relief (and timely wedding present) given the upcoming festivities, travels, and oh yeah, student debt. 

3) My self-esteem is sufficiently boosted.As anyone who has spent a big chunk of time being unemployed knows, it takes an emotional toll. 

Here's the bad: 

My commute is lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. Unfortunately long. But I'm not willing to say no to a great career opportunity for this commute. 

I started My Orange Chair to give myself a place to talk about lots of things, including how sucky it is to be an unemployed new-graduate. I don't plan to stop writing and I don't plan to stop writing about unemployment either. It's a huge issue for youth! Heck, it's a huge issue for everyone. 

In the meantime though, I've got some more dancing to do...and packing for the honeymoon!!
