Apology, Explanations, and Breaking News...

A post in 3 Acts

Act I: Apology
To you few, you happy few, you loyal readers: I apologize for not updating you for an entire month!  Shameful of me, and there can be no excuses.

Act II: Explanations
In which Allie attempts to excuse herself anyway.  Comprising 3 scenes (explanations).
So, for those that care about me on a personal level that extends beyond my job search, you know that I am getting married (yay!) and have been desperately attempting to confirm some sort of time and location for the wedding.  We (fiance and I) have accomplished this!  At the expense of focusing on blogging.  End explanation 1.
Furthermore, I was on vacation at the beach and didn't bring my computer in an effort to liberate myself from the job hunt itself.  Peace and quiet for a week.  End explanation 2.
Last, I have recently moved!  Talk about things that are a serious pain in the rear: job hunting AND moving.  If you want to send me things, email me and I will give you my new address.  End explanation 3.

Act III: Breaking News...
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  Not in the George Bush sense (maybe I might someday get a job), but in the truest sense of the words, because I am currently typing this post from my brand new job!

I have accepted a position here in DC.  I'm recruiting for a company that provides interpreters to immigration courts.  So I will spend my days trying to find people who speak Tibetan in San Francisco, or Vietnamese in Orlando, and who knows what all else.  I am really excited about this--I'm getting back to my love of foreign languages.  If you know anyone who is or could be an interpreter, please send him/her my way.

  1. Oh la la!!! Congrats! What an interesting new job. I do indeed have a jobless friend who is a Spanish medical interpreter... but she has gone to Korea for a month.. so maybe she can interpret both languages when she gets home! Anyways, congrats again- and hope to see you soon. I, too, have returned from my month away from real life, and must return to work on Monday.

  3. Kathryn--Thanks and we should definitely get together post haste. And not talk about children.
