I got a bona-fide full time job as web designer at the growing online advertising middleman: AdBrite. It looks like a really good company and I’m going to enjoy my time there and really get a chance to sharpen my skills. After answering phones, teaching summer camp and working contract, I finally landed a real dot-com job right as the market is starting to heat up.

When I went in to negotiate my salary, the head of HR said, “You know you got this because of your pizza, right?” referring to my pizza app, which is awesome because it means that all my work on that wasn’t for naught; it finally paid off.

The most bizarre thing about getting hired there is that it’s one floor above where I work now (which is a small, 6-story building). I had no idea of this when I sent them my resume but when they called me for an interview and I looked at their address on their website I couldn’t believe it. I thought for sure they had to be old tenants, but they weren’t.

At least now I know what my commute’s going to be like.
