The ACS Job Offer

Plus a few words on NYC media in the early 2000s (Mediabistro anyone?)

While I was holding for Donny, I thought about how they might offer me the job. It was also possible they were calling to let me know they chose someone else.

I imagined each scenario playing out. If I didn’t get it I would be disappointed but I would be fine, right? I told myself I would be. It just meant I’d be back to square one.

Donny got on the line and told me they would like to offer me the job. I think I flashed my parents a thumbs up. Because, again, I was a 35-year-old living at home again.

And then he told me how much it paid.
