I announced my new found employment rather obliquely in my last blog post.
I’ve been somewhat cranky about working again. The F has, unfortunately, suffered for it. Therefore, I thought I’d share a few things that remind me of how unemployment is a nightmare reality or an ignorant, dreamy bliss.
In other words, the Japanese are on to something:
- Welcome to the NHK
- Golden Boy (so very NSFW)
- *Eden of the East – bonus!
Moving on: I told the F the minute I found I job, I could effectively start wedding planning. That was last week.
Famous last words.
Wednesday is my first day of work. I’ve already scheduled 2 meetings with wedding venues so far. It doesn’t change the fact that I’m still mourning my recent spate into employment. To remedy this, I’ll need to distract myself with other stuff besides bemoaning all the Oprah I’ll miss and not being able to sleep past 7 am.
Chicago brides, here are some awesome, intimate wedding venues:
- For brides who like flowers: A New Leaf, Garfield Park Conservatory
- For brides who want modern spaces: West Loop Studio, Prairie Production
- For brides interested in a funky, contemporary setting: Chicago Illuminating Company, Lumen, Ravenswood Event Center
- For nerdy brides with an appreciation for a unique setting: Newberry Library, Lincoln Park Zoo, The Field Museum
Ok, before this blog turns into site for wedding venue promos (which it ain’t) I’ll leave you with a bit of info about career. Here’s some food for thought:
I plan to keep mine – who knew scientific evidence could be so useful when justifying selfish emotional attachment to a last name?
I can only imagine that my scars are in the form of glazed over eyes and Mass Effect 2 achievement scores…?
