Lots more excitement:

I interviewed this past Tuesday for a marketing/development publications position at a Certain Local Modern Orthodox Jewish Day School. (There's really only one in the area, so if you're going, "Is that...?", it's almost certainly yes.) Today they called to offer me the job and I accepted! It's a bit of a departure for me in some ways, not being to do with books. On the other hand, it does tie in with my strong amateur background in Jewish communal service, which is a direction into which I have from time to time considered moving... and overall they said they thought I would bring an excellent combination of strengths into this position, which I believe and very much hope will turn out to be the case. So, OMG. I'm now officially "on vacation" rather than merely "self-employed", and shopping for work-appropriate skirts will commence. :-D Yes, it's full-time -- though I should still have time for occasional outside projects -- and yes, I will miss the freelance life, but I think it'll be worth my while. E.g.: Maybe I'll spring for the spendy new phone after all. ;-)

Plus, lest I forget, Tiger Boy and I (alongside many talented others) are participating in [livejournal.com profile] theatreatfirst's SomerVaudeVille cabaret at Johnny D's later this month. One night only: Wednesday, May 28, at 8:30pm! (Unfortunately, it's at the exact same time as the also-one-night-only Duran Duran concert, at BU's Agannis Arena on Comm Ave. But what can you do. Simon, my junior-high love, I'll have to dedicate my performance to you from afar.)

There actually are a bunch of them, but most are closer to yeshivas. Therefore I'm presuming this is the one that [livejournal.com profile] vettecat and [livejournal.com profile] gnomi attended as kids?

Best of luck!

Congrats on the job!! Re: the phone, you do know about the Centro, right? From what I hear they're better than the 680, smaller, significantly cheaper (AT&T has them for $79 right now), and way cuter. :) Example comparison here. [livejournal.com profile] msarty has one and loves it.

Wicked cool! I hope it'll be a happy place for you. Maybe we could be really daring and try meeting for dinner sometime...
