Got lucky!

Okay, not in that way (dammit!), but for those that don't know, I was fortunate enough to find a new job last week. I interviewed for it last Thursday and they called me the same day to offer me the position. I gave it a day to see if another job I interviewed for was interested in me, but they never called back. Since this was too good a position to pass up (and a job; to put it bluntly), I happily accepted last Friday. It's with an immigration law firm and it doesn't pay as much, but has benes. Because I am completely green to that field of law, I understand that I shouldn't be making as much, so I have absolutely no problem with it.

I told them I could start this past week, but since their other Paralegal is starting next Monday and they are going through employee reviews right now, they thought it would be best if I started next Monday also. So this past week has been pretty mellow.

I am really looking forward to a new area of law. Not that civil litigation was not great, it was and I still have background in it, but this is an area I've been interested in. Tomorrow I'll be going to a seminar to learn about what the firm does, then meeting up with Josh for lunch.

Wen's wedding was last weekend and it went very well. Steve was great as the officiant and Josh did an excellent job as an usher. Grace looked beautiful in her wedding dress and the blue dress she wore during the reception. April, Grace's Maid of Honor, prepared a very funny and instructive (for Wen) speech, that elicited laughs. She was also cute, so I have since asked Wen and Grace for her email; I didn't get a chance to talk to her much during or after the reception ;) (Wen didn't seat me next to her for some reason). Overall a very fun weekend. I'll have to get pictures from others when they become available since I forgot my camera.

Those of you curious about the status of Jen, well there really isn't much to say. We never really had another chance to get together after our "first date". We played phone tag a lot and just couldn't find a time to meet up. I called her the weekend of her birthday (earlier this month) to wish her a "happy birthday" and although we had a nice conversation, I haven't heard from her since. It's too bad really, but okay since we weren't really dating or anything. No biggie.

Well anyhow, I swear I'll be better at updating my blog from here on out. It was tough to write about anything when your days are filled with just applying for jobs and watching endless hours of TV and playing video games.
