The first post.

So it goes. I am sitting at my new job as a graphic designer, not designing much at the moment but at least I'm finally doing what I intended to do 4 years ago when I graduated college.

It took me a while, maybe too long but I finally got it. I am the 5th person, that I know of to find a design job from people I graduated with. Of course I don't keep in touch with all of them but I try.

So now i'm a yuppie, young professional....I never knew what that word actually meant until a couple weeks ago. I always thought if it as a snobby rich person, oh it is quite the opposite. As most people know entry level jobs don't exactly entitle you to roll in the dough. In fact you struggle sometimes more than you would working as a manager at dunkin donuts.

BTW, walking a while back I saw a management postition posted for just such employment, paying more than I'm making. C'mon! I could manage coffee, donuts and prepackaged breakfast food.

Regardless I sit here at my desk wondering where this typing is going to take me or what even to talk about.

If anyone reads this I guess I'll tell you about me;

Grew up in Pittsburgh, PA
Went to Edinboro University of PA (more about that later)
Worked shitty jobs after college (usher, direct support professional, mental health specialist, customer service....not too exciting)
Moved to Boston November of '05
Made friends and enemies
Lived in a crappy apt.
Moved to a beautiful "big-boy" apt.
Finally got a design job.


Anyway. I figure as this develops more detail of myself and mental processis will show.
