So, my job has been intense. I haven't left any earlier than 7:30, once around 8:30, and quite a few times around 9/9:30. But I'm always busy. It is also gratifying because I am able to use skills that I knew I had developed, but hadn't had a chance to use.

If you want to check out my new place of employment you can find them here. They are actually a small firm working mainly in product design. Everyone there is an industrial designer except me. Recently I've worked on projects for Motorola and Microsoft as well as some other smaller projects. I can't tell you what I am working on because I signed a non-disclosure agreement, but I figured it would be okay to tell you who the clients were since they are listed on the website. (Also, I wanted to sound impressive.) Oh, my first day at work I redesigned a flash presentation for a Motorola pitch and the Motorola people loved it. That made me feel all warm and snuggly inside. So yeah, if you want to know more just give me a call. Otherwise, I'm exhausted and ready to go to bed. Goodnight!

Today I went on another interview. I think it went well, but one can never tell. Especially because my barometer of how well these interviews are going seems to be faulty seeing as how I am still unemployed. I have another interview tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

This morning I had the best muffin ever from au bon pain. I wasn't planning on spending any money, but I got to the interview early, and was really hungry so I stopped in and grabbed a muffin. A triple berry muffin (which are always fantastic), but this one was especially glorious because it was more berries than actual muffin. Berries all over the place. I kept thinking I might be pulling that one piece that would have the most berries and then be left with no berries and only muffin, but each bite was filled with an astronomical amount of berries. And in my book, that makes for a fantabulously awesome muffin.

I think I found a church this weekend. If you are interested you can check it out here. I'm looking forward to going back this Sunday. Which is positive, because that is one less thing to stress about. For those who don't know (which I'm sure is no one) I've been a little worried about finding a job, making friends, finding a church, and going back to school. Now I think I've found a church. Which gives me a venue to start making friends. And gives me some hope for making a life here in New York.

I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving when Lauren is coming to visit! YAY!!!! And December when Laura comes for auditions! YAY!!!! And then when I go home for Christmas! YAY!!!! Yay for seeing my friends and family!
