I've been sitting on this a little (save for a few people who I'd been particularly aggravating to, and thus deserved to know) but at this point, with a declared start date and everything, it looks pretty official. That is to say, talking about it probably can't jinx it for me at this point.

As of March 3rd I'll be working as a Writer-Editor at the Federal Register. I interviewed for this position back in December -- quick work by the government, there -- but from even my short experience at the interview, it seems like it'll be a decent job. At the least, I'll be getting a reasonable paycheck, and the opportunity for internal advancement actually EXISTS, as opposed to most jobs I've worked.

The commute will be hell, but I expected that, and with luck I'll find ways and means to make it bearable, even productive. I'll just be glad to be employed, insured, and paid once again.

Wow, man. Congrats and good luck! Hope you enjoy this job better than your last one.

I expect it to be much so. The cool factor is certainly up there, anyway.

Great, dude! Any chance of moving so the commute is shorter?

Can't really uproot the family, and no matter what it's still an hour or so on the Metro. At least I don't have to drive, and will get reimbursed for travel costs on public transportation!

Congrats. I hope to be able to report something similar next week from a promising interview.

I hope so too!

Cautious exuberance! (Just in case) With confetti! Woo!

[pebele.livejournal.com]

Yay! Congrats.

Yay! And you're going to be employed as a writer! No "fries with that!"

You must announce a house-warming party date, so I can have an excuse to visit and give you new games.

There will be little writing involved; more editing and proofing and... well, a lot of random things, I don't entirely know yet. :)
