I got a new job. After months and months of failure and annoyingly painful disappointment, I somehow managed to get myself a job that I am 100% excited about, and 100% proud of.

There is an amazingly large Motorcycle Online Retailer called “Motorcycle-Superstore” and they have an awesome website filled with over 600 brands of motorsports apparel and products (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com) and their headquarters are located in my small neck of the woods. I know, its random. And so, a couple weeks ago after a coffee date with my friend Cali, I said to myself “SELF! Change your freakin circumstances because this is just annoying!” And so, I applied for jobs, and found a posting for a job titled “Merchandising Specialist” …I am BOTH of these things.

I was called for an interview the very next day, and found that I was actually interviewed for a position called “Ecommerce Merchandising Lead” which essentially means, I will be the badass that decides what goes on the website and where based on top seller reports and click through and market trends, etc. etc. Bryant pep talked me beforehand and was all “THIS IS YOUR JOB TO LOSE!” …I know, I thought it was more terrifying than encouraging too, but he also said that I looked “Awesome” and the flattery helped–he also kept saying “You got this!” which was also nice.

A week later they called me to go in for a 2nd interview where they basically said “Are you still interested? We hope so. Because you are awesome, and we want to make you an offer”

To which they did make me an offer–a good one. And I’ve never worked at a company where they made me an “offer.” Sad I know, but Betty Black Hole didn’t believe in formalities.

So here I am. Working for a Motorcycle Super Giant, and pumped about buying lots of leather things—whenever we drive by motorcycle people I say “Hello my brothers!” and Bryant laughs, and I feel all excited and awesome inside.

I start my big fancy job on the 25th, and can’t get over how freaking amazing it is that at my 2 year graduation mark from college, I finally have the sweet merchandising job that I always wanted. Granted I didn’t expect it would be here, in Southern Oregon, but hey now I can buy a quad and go ride around the Applegate with a glass of wine…or er, well, maybe not, but still–BOO-YAH!!!!!!
