Forever nerd
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Emma is a very cool place with very cool people.
But on Sunday, PZC asked me, “So, now that you work at Emma, are you going to be one of the effortlessly hip?”
“Um… no, probably not.”
“I know,” he replied.

Emma-nating
Monday, April 6th, 2009This is the day – the day that I re-establish myself as a contributing member of society. I am uniting myself with the ranks of the fully employed.
After 19 months of instability, I start at Emma this morning.
I have no idea what to expect – except that it’s going to be good. Whatever it is, it’s going to be really good. No more Temptress… you can now address me as the Permanentress.
When I moved to Nashville over a year ago (remember this day?), I was a little bit crazy in the head. I HAD to be – because in order to do something as bold as moving across the country alone with no plan, one must be a small fraction insane. I was treating the move as an open-ended “study abroad” of sorts, and knew that I was free to leave at any time, should I decide that Nashville wasn’t for me. Finding work through a temp agency only supported my non-committal relationship with this city.
But now? Now I have a real job. A legitimate job. An awesome job. A job that tells me, “Hey, Annie, you should probably stick around and see where this road takes you.” I’m really staying here for awhile.
Life is never quite what we expect, is it?
In this case, I’m glad.
