I'm Hired!

I graduated college December 20th 2010, and I got an awesome job February 28th 2011. That was the longest 71 days of my life. Gosh, I was not expecting it to take that long to get a job.

I am the office manager/ graphic designer at Bread & Butter Screenprinting in Chapel Hill North Carolina. It's so serendipitous how I got this position. I applied to be a screen printer, which is basically printing t-shirts. I would have been doing little to no design work. That's what I wanted though, you know learn a new skill. But from a fortunate turn of events; I got the head graphic designer job. Which is more than awesome! It feels awesome to get my independence back. Can't wait to start working.

To celebrate I went to some of my favorite shops and cafes on 9th street. I treated myself to cute eclectic knick knacks. The first shop I went to I recently found. It's so small I didn't know it was even on 9th street. The shop is called Vaguely Reminiscent. It's so indie and colorful. Every inch is crammed with nifty novelties. I got a new sack. It's made of different fabrics with different colors and patterns. I also got a peach colored ring, that's square with daisies and clovers. Some green converse socks. The last three were just for fun. I got a tin case of Bacon flavored toothpicks, Obama mints and Jesus band-aids. How fun is that? Another shop I went to is called Ox & Rabbit, which is also on 9th street. The next time I mention it I'll have pictures of the shop on the inside. It's a lot less crowded than V.R. And it's also a milkshake shop. Their shakes are so good. I got a doggy faced mug there. For those of you who live nowhere near North Carolina; I posted the websites where you can find some of my new knicky knacks. I couldn't find where you could get the ring and sack, but if you ever need bacon flavored toothpicks you know where to go.
