Mission Accomplished

flwydJob accepted. My parents were pretty impressed, and my mom started into a history of her dad's employment and said multiple times that she's never made in a year what I'll make in my first year out of college. I've said I'm available to start at the beginning of February. I think my body's been anticipating. I woke up at 7am on both Monday and Tuesday.
The job's at Denver West, which is at the western edge of Lakewood. The G bus stops there, so I can commute for a while, though two to three hours of daily commute doesn't sound like a fun long-term proposition, even if I do get to read most of the way. And as an employed college graduate, I need to move out of my parents' house anyway, and west Denver is a significantly cheaper place to do so.
I think living on my own will be the best idea. It'll give me a trial (hopefully by not too much fire) to learn all those skills I bypassed in college -- cooking, budgeting, doing taxes, and so forth. Some people miss out on learning experiences in college because they're too busy partying. I missed out on learning experiences in college because I was too busy with school. Oh, and I got to live in the Residence Halls for free, where they cook for you, clean the halls, and take all your money in one lump and precise sum.
But I'm open to other options. Do any of you froods have friends in the west Denver suburbs (Golden/Lakewood/Wheat Ridge ideally) who are looking for a roommate? I should also go about acquiring a car, though I idly wonder how well I'd be able to do relying on the nation's #1 public transit system. (I'd be more tempted to try it if the G didn't just run during rush hour.) So if you or any of your homies are trying to sell a car, put me in cognizance of the fact.
For some odd reason, this mp3 has three distinct parts. Jimi doing his usual Voodoo thang, abruptly shifting to some not-quite-new-age synth for a few minutes, and then Jimi doing his Voodoo thang.

Date: 2004-01-14 07:10 am (UTC)Since we live in the Denver West area and have a spare bedroom.....
Depending on what you are looking for, we could accomodate it from the occasional overnight if you didn't want to hop on the bus again to staying with us until you find something better suited, or depending on further conversation - a full roommate situation.
We have 2 different bus routes near us and both go to the Park & Ride at 6th & Sims/Union for all kinds of transfers. So where exactly is this job?
Congratulations by the way! And I am glad you gave yourself time to yourself before starting....
