I'm officially a copyeditor at a publishing company nearby. I did the interview at 1:15 this afternoon and they called back at 3:30 to offer me the job. :D

It's only 30 hours a week now, but there's a good possibility I could move up to full time in a couple of months. The commute is going to suck, but I'm glad to have a paycheck soon. I start tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.

And how did you get it?

And how did you get it?
I emailed this company and sent them my resume probably three times. A friend of mine works there and said they had openings. They FINALLY (after six months) called me for an interview. I interviewed Wednesday, did their little grammar quiz, and an hour after I got home from the interview, they called and offered me the job. I started the next morning.


how's the job goin, so far ???
It's great so far. There's a little bit of a learning curve; the journalism department at OU uses AP Style and this company uses Chicago, so that's a little different. I also have half as many days to complete the same amount of editing, because I started half-way through the month...but I'll deal with it.
The people that I work with are all really nice, so far, and it seems like a nice work environment. I don't particularly like driving all the way from Norman to Mustang, but I'll deal with it.

Just remember there should be a lot of "dems," "da's," and "ders" in the Chicago style. Plus, you know who is from Chicago....... Yeah, dat's right, da mayer, Richy Daley....

So I guess you owe Leroid a thanks for the advice. :D

PG.....Congrats Darlin'! The Wife and I are very happy for you. I knew it wouldn't be long before someone with some sense would snap you up.

Freaking Awesome!
