This has been one of the most important weeks of my life. Okay, you may laugh if you like, but you can't get me down. If my passive-aggressive spying tattling jealous no-talent bum coworkers can't get me down, then you can't. Even if my two latest job offerings fall through, I will still have this experience and I will still have my fans and friends. You can't take that away from me.
I was chatting with Carmichael on Monday. "hey read ur blog :P," he said. Uh oh, I thought. I didn't know he would do that. We talked for a long time and HE LISTENED TO MY IDEAS. He may not or probably won't use them and that's okay. What matters is he considered them; that's SO rare. That in itself ranks him right up there with my RL pastor, who consults me on things like website design, handheld organizers and facebook (I HATE facebook, btw; just had to put that in). Then, he offered me an ungodly amount of lindens to write a blog on the Survivors of Suicide project! In addition to the assignment he had given me for the next issue of OI...I think he just needed someone to bounce his ideas off.
Then, on Tuesday, I sent a notecard to the contact Carmichael had given me for my new assignment (I thought). Later, he IMed me.
Franco: hi
Franco: what is oi magazine?
Se7en: oh dear

Franco: about what? lets see if it fits
Se7en: do you want my resume?
Franco: yes please
That's how it started out; after awhile I told him I didn't know I was going to be interviewed that day. Then, he started telling me I could hire a staff and showed me my office and desk. He asked me how much I wanted to be paid! hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I think he is crazy.
I TPed later to HPI to hang out for a bit.

Tim is really a supporter so I know he was just kidding. And I'm really happy, very excited. I haven't been able to envision a future for myself for about 16 years. Sometimes I wonder how this has happened. Then I instantly remember...
