Well I just realized that it's been quite some time since I let my four avid followers know what was up in the life of Nico. So here's the scoop:
You all know that I graduated in May, moved, sent my son to DC, and was horribly unemployed for months on end with not an interview in sight. Things were looking mighty gloomy.
Well in December that all changed. I somehow was able to land a job in the research division of the most amazing non-profit social service agency in San Francisco and have since been caught up in a whirlwind of busy work days, long commutes to the city, and the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I'm thrilled! I'm about to finish my first month and I have to tell you - anyone that says you can't get a job with a BA in anthropology is WRONG! That or I'm the luckiest girl ever. My degree is completely relevant to my new job and it's so exciting to be a cog in a machine that is working to do good things. Everyone I work for and with is lovely and kind and passionate about the work being done at the agency. It makes getting up early a little easier to do. I don't want to name any names, but the place I am working for has been around since the late 1800s and is quite possibly one of the first social service agencies in SF. I adore what I do, I adore what the company does, and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out.
So a big huge THANK YOU!!! to everyone that helped me get here, both emotionally and financially. Since I work for a non-profit social service agency, the money isn't the best, but being able to go to work and be proud of what I do is more than enough compensation for that.
So there you have it! I am well, the kiddo is well. Things are good :)
