Get A Job Sir.

Well, someone told me last week that the way to reach adulthood is by either getting a real, full-time job or by getting pregnant.  Monday I got a phone call that I was granted a full-time job at the University as a designer for PR & Marketing and Admissions. YAY! I was excited because it means we'll have some monies and some insurance now. It also means I have to be at work at 8am (what!?) and stop partying so much since I have to go M-F from 8-5. Don't get me wrong....I'm soooo grateful. There were 40 people who applied (it's a GOOD job - especially for graphic design in logan, ut) and they narrowed it down to 4 after the interview process. Since they couldn't decided, they had us show them what we're made of by asking us design a postcard. It was meant to be for High School seniors who had been accepted into USU but were still on the fence about coming. It was a close one and I was on antacids all week second-guessing my postcard and convincing myself it wasn't THAT great of a job.


I'm just feeling a little weird about being an adult. When did this happen? I sorta imagined that even when I got a real job I'd just sit at my computer, listening to weird, indie music and designing stuff...not too different than while I was in school. But, I'm going to have to wear trousers (maybe) and meet with important university people and be in charge of interns and other department's designers and manage a cohesive university identity.  


Luckily I can ease into it by having my mom pick me up and take me up there (since she works up there too and has a sweet parking spot) just like she did when I was 6. Phewf!


A few people have mentioned wanting to see this postcard that got me my kick-butt job. I did it on a Saturday afternoon.  If I'd had more time I'd probably fine-tune the front shapes and typography but enough of my disclaimers. Here it is...Front and back

Go Aggies!
