I got a call today from the place I interviewed at about a week ago and I GOT THE JOB!!!

I'm very excited.

My start date is August 3rd.

A co-worker of mine passed away today. He was only 29 years old. The death was sudden and it really hasn't hit me yet.

He was a really nice and personable guy. He will be missed.

Last night he went to bed and he never woke up.

Today, he wasn't showing up to work and he never called our boss to say he wasn't coming in. Another co-worker of mine got in touch of his roommates. When they went to check on him, the door was locked. They had to knock it down and they found him in bed already dead.

My co-workers, by boss and I spent most of the day at a bar/restaurant reflecting on him. This guy was the first person to say hi to me when I started working and everyone always stood around his desk, talking.
We also talked about the fact that we spend more time with each other than our actual families and it's a good thing we all like each other. And he really was the life of the party.

The next few weeks will be very strange. Nothing is going to feel right for a while.

My moodtheme says drunk, but I'm not drunk.

Today was the last day of work for one of my co-workers (the guy who actually sat next to me --- I'm going to miss hime a lot) and we went out to drink after work. And the wine I had made me damn tired.

Today at work I was moved to another seat for the 3rd time. I'm supposedly in my permanent spot now. It's an okay spot. It's less roomy and there's always people passing by, but I like the people near me. I just hate how everyone could possibly see my computer screen. If my manager comes out of his office I won't know. So I can't risk going to internet sites anymore.

Then at the end of the day this research analyst from the Atlanta office called me and wanted estimates for next years shows like Dollhouse, Hell's Kitchen, and So You Think You Can Dance. These estimates aren't done yet because the shows don't air for a long time AND with Dollhouse I haven't gotten any information about when it's airing or what it's about so it's impossible to do an estimate. I'll have to talk to my boss on Monday since he wasn't in today and get this estimate stuff figured out.


1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

I got the letter "S" from electricxtears

( today's program is brought to you by the letter S )

today was a really interesting day at work...
It was around 9 am and I was on the phone with my mom since I had no work to do when all of a sudden I was informed that the ceiling was leaking like a waterfall right next to me.
I was so caught up in talking that I did not notice water was pouring out of the ceiling.
I quickly got away from the waterfall. The only thing that got wet was my chair's armrest, not me. And everyone was scrambling to turn the comps off and put their garbage pails underneath. There was like 10 pails catching the water.
It was kinda funny because everyone stopped working to watch the water falling and everyone kept asking if I was ok as if something really bad happened to me.
Turns out, there's a sink on the floor right above me and a pipe wasn't connected or something like that. Thank God it wasn't toilet water.
My supervisor was going to send me home since my spot was ruined, but then he found another comp/spot I could use (darn) so I couldn't leave early.

I got 2 bags today as a graduation present/for work. They're both big enough to fit a book, which will be good for when I'm on a lunch break and have lots of time to spare before going back to work. And I like how they're not plain black or unprofessional-looking like every other bag I have.

The bags make me feel grown up.
