Rocket Science

*** Official Announcement*** You are now reading the blog of the newest member of the NASA team!!! That's right, I have scored a job with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration!!! Who would've thought that someday I'd be launching rockets into space?!

Well, ok, I guess I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I did get offered a job working at the Space Center but it is with a subcontracting company that does work for NASA. I won't exactly be launching the shuttle either but it takes a village right?! Every little support person helps get that bird into space so technically, I'm launching a rocket. So there!

I can't even express to you all how freaking excited I am. My girlfriend always watches the job announcements for me and sends me the ones she thinks I'd be interested in. We've been at that for over a year now. I've applied for several and have never heard anything. Not even a generic "thanks but no thanks." But this time she went above and beyond and became my very own public relations rep. She must've talked me up good because I got an interview. I actually interviewed over a week ago and felt like it went very well. I didn't want to say anything though and jinx myself. But, I got the call today with an offer which I promptly accepted.

Now I just have to go in and give my current boss the news. I've been counting the hours to get to this moment. I think I've mentioned here before how much I don't care for my job. I don't think my boss will be too disappointed to lose me though. With the way the real estate market is going, he'll probably be happy that he doesn't have to pay me anymore.

So, there it is, my big announcement! I want you all to do a happy little jig in my honor. Make sure to watch the next shuttle launch, I'm going to try to slap an "absofreakinglutely" sticker on the side of the shuttle. Oh, who am I kidding? They're not going to let me anywhere near that thing!
