Trying out new Colors!

Hey Guys...before I put up my long weekend trip post, I have to let all of you in this good news!
I got a job at this awesome place today!! Yippeee!! The job is located in the heart of New York City! (Princess, are you listening?). Currently I am staying in New Jersey, so that means a minimum 1.5hrs commute one way everyday. But who's complaining when I am just a few blocks away from Times Square?!

All this happened pretty suddenly. On Wednesday afternoon, I got this call for this position. They wanted someone immediately..and the interview was scheduled for today 10:00am. So had to rush rush and book a flight ticket for Thursday. The flight was bad...as it always happen when I travel to-from Newark airport, this time too the flight got delayed. Going for the interview today was quite an adventure for me, knowing so very little about the city.

Sigh...I am so excited about this, but missing V soooo much!
All these changes has made me miss Paheli :-(. I had booked 19 tickets for the show today..and now all my friends are going, except me!

New York is the best city to work. Even I will try there after getting my immigration here. It's one of the truly multi-cultural cities. You will have a time of your life there.

Congrats to V too coz as they say behind every successful girl there is a very successful guy...;)..ha ha.

hey... thats good... wonder how it feels like to be working right in the heart of the city...

btw, hope you also find the job exciting enough... :)

Colors said...

Hey Anz, double thanks for the double wishes :-)

Hi Rhicha, thanks soo much! Of course not...its never too late ;-)

Hey Kaatss, thanks!! Hehe, I am working hard and walking hard too :-P Its so nice out there...I always feel like extending my lunch hour and go roaming around:-)

Sigh!! Nupur I'll get to it soon...just wait a teeny weeny bit more :)

Colors said...

Hi RS, LOL...Its so awfully hot specially when u have to walk that much..that I am keeping away from biz suits :-) Thank God for 'business casual' dress code! Yep started from Monday itself and already deep in work!

Hey Moonie/Boomerang, I guess I didnt explain quite well. U see I work as a consultant, so my prev position in Indianapolis got over some weeks back and I was looking out for a new one. Knowing Indiana, its very hard to find a decent oppotunity nearby. So there was no other way but to move out. This is gonna be hard for a while...being away from V...but we are hoping he too gets a decent job around this area so that we can be together again!

And Boomerang, u kinda confuse me. Where will u invite me for a date....all the way to Iowa??

Colors said...

DJ..better late than never..and I know u've been kept away for better reasons...so no worries. Thanks so much for ur wishes. I am too tired by the end of the day so not able to blog. But I am hoping to get used to the commute and maybe then things will be better. Party idhar hi hai...jab chahe aa jana! Most welcome :-)

Hi Ashish..Thank u, thank u :-) Yes the city is amazing ...it draws u in ..into the liveliness and excitement!

Hi ITNL, seeing u here for the 1st time...so a warm welcome. Like I said, its exhilirating. The energy flows right into you! I have never worked in a BIG city as such..so I am pretty excited. And the work is demanding too :-)
