California! Here I Come!!!

[huskerlaw]

No, I'm not just channeling Phantom Planet. I GOT THE JOB!!!! I'm negotiating salary at the moment, but I'm already pretty happy with their first offer.

Dream job. Dream city. I'm sooooo excited.

Thanks to everyone who offered words of encouragement and support.

And LA DUers...I'll be invading your fair city in October.

[GOPisEvil]

15. I can damn-near guarantee it.

:D

[huskerlaw]

16. WoooooHoooooo!!!

I'm just so flipping excited I'll be living in a blue state, I can barely contain myself. After Nebraska, it's gonna be sooooo nice. :woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

18. Plus, it's FREAKING LA!!!!

I hope you don't OD on all the sun and comfy temperatures! :P

[huskerlaw]

20. FREAKING LA!!! Damn straight!

And look when I'm moving...October. Just in time to miss winter completely. I've definitely got the good karma going today. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

22. Can you rub a little of your good karma off on me?

:D

[huskerlaw]

24. Why, GOPisEvil...

If I didn't know better... :blush:

[GOPisEvil]

26. Well...uh...

...:blush:...I wasn't trying to be provocative, but hey, you just rub that karma any way you want. Beggars can't be choosers.

[huskerlaw]

28. Muahahaha

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

29. we have to get you in a good mood more often.

:D

[huskerlaw]

31. I might be in a good mood for a while

like, oh I dunno...forever. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

33. Heh...

:woohoo:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

2. You lucky dog, you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! I missed it - what area of practice?

[huskerlaw]

3. Actually,

Research librarian at a law library. I'm all about building the argument and then letting someone else make it.

But it's actually a front for my second career. My evil plan is to get out there, volunteer for some wonderful liberal politician (Senator Boxer, hopefully) and try to make it in politics eventually. But in the meantime, I've got a well-paying 9-5 job. ;)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. Sounds wonderful, actually

I know at least one person from school who wanted to be a law librarian. YEA FOR YOU!!!

[bliss_eternal]

7. Congratulation, huskerlaw!!!

I am VERY Happy for you!!

:party: :applause::party: :woohoo:

[huskerlaw]

9. Thanks!!

I'm pinging off the walls, lol. :)

[bliss_eternal]

12. Did you attend law school or a library science program?

If you don't mind a personal question...

:hi:

[huskerlaw]

14. Don't mind at all

I did both. I have a JD and a Masters in library science. And the student loans to prove it. :crazy:

[bliss_eternal]

23. Oh no--poor thing, sorry to hear that!

I recently paid off ONE Of my student loans, so I know what you are talking about.

Hopefully your new kick ass job, will help you with taking out some of the debt!

[huskerlaw]

25. I just refer to my diplomas

as my incredibly lightweight Porsche. ;) I'll be paying it back til I die, but I think it was worth it.

[bliss_eternal]

37. Absolutely!! That's what matters most!

:applause:

You did it! You got the diplomas--you should be proud of yourself!

[sakabatou]

8. Buy a water filter

You'll need that...

[Deja Q]

10. Should I get my kleenex for you?

:spray: :rofl:

Sorry, couldn't resist! :wow:


:yoiks:

[huskerlaw]

11. AHAHAHAHAHA

ooooh mai gawd... :spray:

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. CONGRATULATIONS!

Another very cool DU'er coming to LA!

It won't be long, and we'll have as many as Boston has!

Looking forward to meeting you in person, my dear huskerlaw!

October is NEXT MONTH!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[huskerlaw]

19. Thank you!!!

OMG, I get to meet CaliforniaPeggy? :woohoo:

October *is* next month isn't it??? :scared: What am I doing in front of this comp? Must. Go. Pack. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Yes, you get to meet me....

But the cool part is....I get to meet you! I"ll PM you my phone and stuff when you get out here...don't let me forget ...

Do you have a move-out date yet? And do you know where you'll be living?

I'm so excited for you...and for US!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[huskerlaw]

43. I am sooo excited right now

I'm totally not going to sleep tonight. :)

I'm looking at early October, they want me to start work by mid-October. I'll be working downtown, but obviously don't want to live there.

At the moment I'm looking at Burbank and Studio City, but only because that's the area I'm most familiar with. I'm mostly interested in safety, and will deal with cost issues later. ;) But if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

I'll PM you all of my contact info too, once I have it. I'm going to be so ridiculously far from home, I figure the more people I know the better!!

[Zomby Woof]

35. We have more than Boston

More, and better quality. Remember, Boston siphoned off people from OTHER CITIES AND STATES (even another country!) for their gathering.

We need no such inflation. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. We DO?

How cool is that! Won't we have some fun!

:kick:

[huskerlaw]

40. Wooo Hoooo

So when's the next SoCal DU Meetup?? ;)

[Zomby Woof]

42. NSMA and Misunderestimator

They have been trying to lure Nini and I out of hiding, and Nini's job has made that next to impossible, but we SWEAR one of these days to make good on it.

[huskerlaw]

44. Well, if I drag myself

all the way from Nebraska, it's the least you can do. ;)

[Zomby Woof]

41. There's like 3

And LOTS of out-of-state wannabes. :P

California's natural supremacy speaks for itself. :bounce:

[flamingyouth]

21. Congrats!

That's awesome!:toast:

[huskerlaw]

27. Thanks!!!

Obviously, I'm just a *little* bit excited about it. ;)

[BamaGirl]
