Remember the seminal 80's classic "Working Girl" staring Melanie Griffith before her lips looked like they were injected with Mike & Ike candies and Indiana Jones before he was shipped off to the geriatric home? Remember how gloriously fun it made having a big girl job seem? With all the sitting on Staten Island ferry reading the NY Post and posh lunches and ski trips and sexy board meetings and lots of sex and stuff? Well, I only wish real life work were so glamorous! Going to work every day sucks. After 2 years in the cocoon of grad school, I'd forgotten how much so. I mean, I worked all last summer on a regular schedule, but somehow it was different because my frame of mind was like, "well, this is only for 10 weeks so it's just temporary." But knowing that this is what I'm going to be doing now for the rest of my life is quite a shock. I mean, commuting 50 minutes or so each way is hell, even if it does entail driving up and down the PCH every day (it sounds a lot sexier than it is, really). The worst part of it all is the time demands of a full time job mean less time to myself, which means less time to work out, which means less time to hang out with friends, which means less time to sleep which mean less time to get laid! Melanie Griffith, you misled me, you evil wench!

About Me
- Janet
- After 6 long years of singledom, Janet stumbled upon a positively awesome guy who somehow finds it in himself to tolerate her in all her insane, issue-laden glory. She is simultaneously thrilled and scared senseless, but hopes to someday resolve this inner conflict.

But isn't it nice to have a paycheck coming in again? Ask for some equity after a year--if that's the kind of thing that helps you with motivation :-)
Yes, it's VERY nice to be getting paid! Nevermind that I have owe all my internal organs to Sallie Mae so I can't really enjoy most of it. And I already have equity - it was part of the initial offer package. :)
