Can you smell what the WWE is cooking?!

Posted by: Lily on: September 29, 2008

I’m going to see WWE – Monday Night Raw tonight. How weird is that?! We got tickets from Fox Sports, and they’re something like 5 rows up from the ring. OMG! I used to watch The Rock entice the crowds on Friday nights. I’d watch with my high school bf [...]

Weekend Recap – 9/29 – You’ve Got Mail

Posted by: Lily on: September 29, 2008

SWEET weekend.
Friday night: I hosted a porch-sitting, debate-watching, board game-playing party at my St. Paul house.  I think we had about 8 of us.  We sat on the porch for a couple of hours in the early evening, drinking Oktoberfest and other Autumn brews and enjoying the perfect weather.  At 8PM, we moved in side, [...]

What a Player!

Posted by: Lily on: September 29, 2008

Ok, so I have totally walked into this Target (Midway, formerly known as Tar-ghetto) and have heard the SAME line from the SAME guy before. What a player!  (and kind of a creep-o)

Helpful Tip: We Don’t Like This

Old man (to teenage girl): Hey! Hey, you dropped something.

Well, that bloody sucks.

So.
My one roomie is in her bedroom here with her bf, my other roomie just left to go spend the night at her bf’s and the cute British guy I’ve been happily shagging every Saturday night for the last month-ish just (as in about 2 hours ago) called the benefits off of the friends-with-benefits thing, [...]

Taking the Leap

Posted by: Lily on: September 29, 2008

Sometimes I have a lot in my head, a lot I want to get out in Blog World, yet I just can’t quite find the motivation to open the “Write Post” page and start tapping away. In these instances, I jump right to my Google Reader (have I mentioned that this is the crack [...]

The First Day of the Rest of My Career?

Posted by: Lily on: September 25, 2008

Details later.  I accepted the offer!

Because I KNOW y’all are on the edge of your seat…

Posted by: Lily on: September 24, 2008

So, today I decided that I was 90% sure I would accept the job. And today I talked to the one boss that would be the hardest, telling him that I was “strongly considering” it, especially considering the dead ends I’ve run into here.
He was totally understanding, but did add that he didn’t like [...]

Turns Out…

Posted by: Lily on: September 23, 2008

… they’re fine with me freelancing as long as it doesn’t compete with their business and as long as I don’t share trade secrets.  Totally fair, totally expected.
… the salary would bump up to the original offer pending a positive 6-month review.
Now all I need to know is whether or not they’ll let me take [...]

What Other People Think

Posted by: Lily on: September 23, 2008

Ok, so most of the feedback I’ve gotten on the job thing has been from my friends telling me to take it.
The things they’ve pointed out:
- mo’ money, not mo’ problems.  The ability to save $ for the first time in my life is a substantial thing to consider.  Not to mention getting out of [...]

Career Dilemma (or the Answer to My Prayers?)

Posted by: Lily on: September 23, 2008

So, it finally happened.
I was offered a new job today. Over the last few months, I’ve had a series of recruiters reach out to me pitching Interactive Media Buyer, Planner, and Buyer/Planner jobs at me. I’ve responded to a couple, expressed interest in others, but there’s one that’s now actually panned out.
I’ve been [...]
