The day after graduation, he met with a friend of a friend of a friend's dad who works at a large engineering firm. They chatted generally and it was fine, but nothing exciting happened beyond that.
Until last week when the HR department called and offered my brother a Big Boy Job in New York (state, not city).
Earning double the salary of his big sister (ok, just $2000 short of doubling his big sister's income).
Living far far from home in an apartment all by himself.
So grown up. Sob.
Hey look! A statue of Neil freaking Armstrong! Pose with me, pretty pretty please!It's a good thing he's more than 6 inches taller than me. Nobody will notice if I start calling him my big brother, right?
And, it's a perk if he moves away and leaves his bedroom empty so it can resume it's job of being the most important room in the house: my closet.
Time to go shopping for housewares! (Who's excited? Not my brother, that's for sure.)
How exciting! Hooray for new closets and hooray for him getting a job!
ReplyDeleteyay good news all around!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news! I live in New York State (western, ny) by the way.
ReplyDeleteawww! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteMy little bro is an engineer, and wow, what a job. Stressful, BUT he made at least triple my salary, and just accepted a transfer to Long Beach...where's the justice?!
Yay for little brothers! Where would they be without their sisters?!
such great news! my brother got out of the Marines and finally got a big boy job. But he is still definitely a little brother. All that freedom is making him crazy!
ReplyDeleteHe better have a closet for you in his new place. All the shopping sprees over there when you visit :p
