Here’s a picture of me in the East Village across the street from my celebratory brunch a few days after I received news the day of my interview that I got the job. I had just finished a man-mosa, which is a mimosa in a pint glass :) That’s my former roomie and very good friend who graciously allowed me to stay in her place for well over a month pre and post interview. Her boyfriend, who is freakishly tall even next to my big ass, is between us - very cool guy. I stayed in their living room/kitchen, and I could tell he was trying to tiptoe around me every morning, which is impossible for a man that size! Everything has changed. Not that long ago I was slanging drinks in a Koreatown bar to drunk cheap tippers. Now I’m headed to DC with the bosses, our lawyers and legislative friends to meet with some very powerful people. I was happy in this picture. I am very stressed but exhilarated now.
