"You haven't worked a day in your life. How could you be exhausted?"
So, today I accepted that job offer, and I already met with my boss tonight for about two hours to get started on a project with a very tight deadline. I was at the old job today, and ended up working out a situation with my supervisor that allows me to keep the old one on a very part-time, flexible basis (which means my stock options keep vesting!) while focusing my attention on this job here in Happy Valley. I'm excited, although a little nervous because I need to make sure school is my priority. I haven't quite figured out if it bodes well for me to think "I should have asked for more money" (as if a 20% raise isn't enough) as I'm leaving my first meeting. Mostly, though, I'm ready to have a job that actually involves using my strengths.
