elloooooo all!! thought id give a short update to the people who have read my depressive rants before and who tried to help me get through them ...
3 weeks ago i applied for a job as customer support in the UK with a biotech company, and decided against doing a phd. 2 weeks ago they flew me in for a sollicitation talk. flashforward 2 weeks of nervousness and worrying i might not be good enough (there was actually some phd who applied for the same job lol), 2 hours ago i got a phone call with the job offer :D:D:D
whoop whoop!!!

Wow fantastic! Well done you! It is really nice to hear such good news. I can understand how happy and relieved you must feel. Hope it all goes incredibly well and that you are doing something especially nice to celebrate this. And think of all of the qualities you can bring to this work given all of your past experiences and education.(up) (They should have little glasses of champagne as emoticons for these sorts of events).
