job satisfaction

last week, as i was leaving work, i overheard one woman telling another that she had worked for the company for 8 years. i immediately started to calculate how old this would make that woman (she looked just a little older than me so i was shocked) but then i took a moment to consider whether that could be me eight years from now? having never worked in one place even two whole years, could i imagine myself in this position for the next decade?

happily, i could. this is the first place that i feel happy. i feel like i fit there. my job is interesting and unique from day to day, and, i've gotten some great stories and i'm scooping the new york times and wwd! for the first month on the job, i couldn't ask for more.

for the first time in my post-college life, i am satisfied at work. i think i have found my career.
