Walking on Sunshine

Today was a good day, and a nice cap to a good week.

1st: I got to have lunch with the lovely [personal profile] jelazakazone, and got to see her gorgeous rooster quilt in person. We sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed our lunches. It was wonderful.

2nd: I have gotten very, very good feedback from the folks at my internship. I've managed to impress the shit out of them, both this semester and over the summer. And I found out this afternoon that they are already considering me in their budget planning for the next year. They should have an actual offer put together for me within a month or so. I really like the company and the folks that I have been working with. So, provided that the offer meets my needs, I will likely take the position that I am offered. Now I just have to figure out what I need (and what I should be asking for). I'm woefully underprepared for salary and benefits negotiations having mostly done temp to hire positions and never having made more than $23,000/year. This is a whole new world, which is a good thing even if it is strange.

3rd: It is very likely that the company will be using one of the presentations I've been working on as their Continuing Legal Education (CLE) offering at LegalTech, which is the biggest convention for litigation technology/litigation support, in February. The sad thing, I won't be able to see it presented at the conference because I will be in the final month of studying for the bar exam. But damn I'm happy that my work is likely going to be the basis for such a cool thing.

4th: I'm feeling less fatigued. So I'm guessing the iron supplements are helping. ::happy dance::

You impress the shit out of me from afar, so I'm not surprised that you impressed the people you're working with :) Glad to hear things are looking up!

Lunch was soooo lovely. sitting in the sun, just chatting away. I love how knowing you online made it so easy to just sit and chat and not worry about what came up. Definitely looking forward to more lunches.

So glad you are feeling better and way to rock the world woman! <3

I believe I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again: Dude, you are my hero!!! I'm so very glad to hear that things are working in your favor, you deserve all of this. Kudos to you for putting together such an amazing presentation that they'll be using it for CLE as well as wowing the socks off of the Big-Wigs at the company, all while dealing with your physical and emotional issues. You are amazing!

All such good things! That is awesome that they loved you so much and you enjoyed working there.

And less fatigued is such a great thing.
