Boulder

I'm very excited to actually report some news.

After over a year On Sabbatical, with close to nil "job" bites, last week I received two job offers in the same day. What are the chances. I was forced to choose between the two. Not super easy, but the decision was carefully deliberated, pros and cons written on lined paper, and I've spoken to many people. Pretty much all people who's opinion I value.

As we know, I've been substitute teaching and working at a Wine Shop. I of course need more money, so I applied for a part time job I saw in the paper last week. Working for a local commercial real estate firm. I walked in we hit it off, he told me he wanted it to develop into a full time position with benefits. Benefits...what are those? It's been a while.

Almost immediately after accepting the position and leaving, I received a phone call from a strange area code. As with most unknown numbers, I didn't pickup. Then an email in the inbox rattles my blackberry. Good ol' Crispin, Porter & Bogusky, informing me I had indeed been accepted into their very competitive summer intern program. They are known as "Agency of the Decade" in ad circles and are behind such campaigns as the Whopper Freakout and the anti smoking Truth campaign. And of course those catchy GAP and Old Navy commercials.

Boulder wanted an answer by the next day...however I got them to extend the deadline through the weekend. Long talks were had, but I have decided to go for it. This could be the break I've been looking for. And a break from ManchVegas will only be healthy for me...

The internship runs May 25 through August 15. I will be driving out there. Never driven cross country before, so thats kind of exciting.

The goal is to get hired full time. Hence, I will be trying hard to bring forth the proverbial "A" game. Let's see if my "A" game jives with anyone else's...
