I am employed: cue rejoicing!

Yes it's true! I badgered and badgered until someone relented and gave me a job. I am trying to hold onto the pain and desperation of the last 6 weeks, to keep some kind of reminder about how cold and hard it is in the world. But it's difficult to maintain when you wake up with a tingly happy feeling, satisfaction that something is working out; knowing that the future can progress and that christmas cards can finally be printed and sent!

Reasons to rejoice outside of having a job:

The even better news is that I have ANOTHER job. Maybe. Jed's company has asked me to come in to discuss doing post-production work on some visuals for the competition due in 2 weeks. It's just a small thing, but really cool :) And then I will have REALLLLL WORK ON MY RESUME HURRAHHHHHHHH! (oh and money).

Topography of Terror

The topography of terror is apparently very, very flat and stony. Also, holidays are successfully making me not want to return to work.

I was biking home from work and the light was so nice, I decided to stop and take some pics. I bike past the Monument to blah blah blah (shorten the name already... seriously...) every day but never stop.

... good story bro.

Working a Thankless Job.

When someone offers you a 'mini-job' in Berlin, grant yourself some dignity and turn it down. That is called exploitation, and it is wrong.
