Holy new job situation! Things are just moving all crazy freight-train-like after making my final role choice (See what I did there? I'm talking HR-speak after so many months of getting schooled on the proper lingo.)

So here's my new bulleted list of key events that have taken place since my last blog post:

• Successfully completed a background screening and drug test, thus confirming I'm not some closet gangsta-druggie, but quite the opposite with the most boringly cleanest background/urine test of any other living job candidate
• Searched out and secured downtown parking accommodations and now must overcome my fear of sketchy-looking pedestrians roaming around the new-job area
• Actually TURNED DOWN requests for 2 more phone interviews for positions that have been way up there on my radar
• Also got me some more application rejections that are no less painful than before accepting an offer *ouch*
• Continued that video streaming marathon of "Friends" via Netflix, and while getting super annoyed hearing about Ross and Rachel's so-called break, I'm finding Phoebe's surrogate status even more interesting to watch now - must be that whole empty nester thing
