The Quest for a Greater Metropolitan Area

Ok. So it's no big secret that my goal is to move back to Raleigh next year. Reasons are as follows:

1) I have had several "Get me to a greater metropolitan area immediately" moments. (If your name is not Anna Morgante, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about....unless I told you the story of course.)

2) My intention since before my internship was to live in Raleigh. You know, try my luck in the "big city".

3) I want to go to grad school and all the places I am interested in are in the Triangle.

4) I miss my (Raleigh) friends and all the cool stuff to do up there.

5) I am too damn liberal to live in New Bern.

So anyhow, I made this confession to share a story with you. I went to Raleigh for an interview. (Insert shocked gasp here if you ,like I , thought that Wake County was an impenetrable fortress into which no crazy mind control-resume sending power could penetrate.) It went well (I think) and I am, of course, hoping for a phone call to let me know one way or the other within the next two or three weeks.

Of course, now that I've written this blog...if I don't get the job, my humiliation will span far beyond the 3 dimensional people into cyberspace.

After the interview I got to hang out with Janine...(see aren't we cute)

and some of her friends....none of whom do I have a picture of. BUT, they pretty much look like this....

No? Don't believe me? Ok.

Anyhow...we go out to dinner/drinks/hang out on the patio while people watching in downtown Raleigh when amazing lady-waitress-type walks over and asks if we would like a menu. When given the affirmative she walks over with the menu, which she places on the table. Then, she proceeds to hand me a page-protected paper and asks me if I'd like to see something special.

"Only if it says, Dear Jen, you're gonna get a job next week."

Haha...required polite laughter...bahahawhah. "Well actually, it's just the specials menu....sorry."

Only a few minutes later she comes back with this

....custom made "specials" menu.

Meet reason number 6 I'm going to (someday) move back to Raleigh.
