June 24th: No Longer the Infinite Future

June 24th is in 9 days. 7 business days. Jue 24th is my last day at CENTERSTAGE. For a while it seemed like it was always going to be in the way distant future. I know now that it's not. This both terrifies and excites me. I don't have a job yet but I have a few brighter prospects since we last spoke. I have a job interview tomorrow in DC which slightly concerns me because I'm taking public transportation to get there. The last thing I want to do is miss a train because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Trains, planes, most subway stations - I have very little experience with these modes of transportation so this is all very new and terrifying. However, I also decided the other day that I spend way too much time being afraid of absolutely everything so I should just suck it up, remember that I am an intelligent human being, get on the damn train, transfer to the metro, walk confidently into my interview and get the damn job.

By June 24th, I want to be able to turn to the last person I say goodbye to and tell them, with confidence, my future plans. I am working as a ____ with _____ in _____ and I plan to move to _____ or _____ within the next _____ (amount of time). And I'm gonna get a cat, damnit. It's not "home" unless there is a pet. I am convinced.

I'll probably stay with Jason in the interim period between CENTERSTAGE and my new apartment - assuming the job is already taken care of. The interview I have tomorrow is for a company that I already spoke to on the phone and completed a trial assignment for. My hopes are high. As long as the interview goes well, signs point to yes. Next steps would be ensuring that money and benefits are up to par and sealing the deal. I'm going to think positively about it. See where it gets me.
