I'm A Big Girl Now

Ayaaaaaan! May trabaho na akoooooo! Shaddaaaaaaaap!
I will no longer have to face those stupid so-may-trabaho-ka-nas with the same sense of shittiness. Not that I didn’t like waking up at one in the afternoon and wandering the city with the purest abandon, but it feels good to have this Magnet of Duty to pull my days together. That’s what matters to me the most, actually, this concrete chance at productivity. The cash and the license to shut those Askers of The Question up are way secondary right now.
Thanks to Wench Eigenmann’s referral, I got a job at B+C Design as a junior copywriter. Nice little graphic design firm with people I know I can jive with and a philosophy I am partial to. And you can smoke in the pantry. And it’s near the MRT. Was interviewed yesterday, got the go-signal a few hours after and will be briefed on Thursday. It’s all pretty fast, but then again, I have no reason to delay anything. I am a bit wary of being a fresh graduate and having no really really real work experience, but I’ll do all I can. I would like to think that I’m not an idiot in certain respects, that I’ll stop groping around in the dark soon enough.
And speaking of impending adult-dom, I got my cedula this afternoon. “Cedula” has always seemed like a dirty word to me, with the usual chained-to-the-government sentiment it connotes. Picking it up took all of five minutes. All this grown-up business is introducing itself at a pace much quicker than I thought, entering my system like a nervous tick. But that’s all fine with me. I happen to like epilepsy.
I’m such a fucking greenhorn.
