One down, one to go

If all goes well, next Monday I will be employed at a very cool company with some very cool people. I'm not going to say where, just because I don't want to jinx it, and I haven't signed any paperwork yet.

Yep, they offered me a job. Actually, they offered me a better job than I applied for.

[bragging-filter-on]They said my experience and portfolio showed that I could do more than the junior design position they had open, so they changed the job, the title, and the salary. Needless to say, I'm delighted.[bragging-filter-off]

I'm really looking forward to working there, and I'm quite excited.

Now all I have to do is find someplace to live in San Francisco. I've got my heart set on a loft downtown, although I'm looking in other neighborhoods too, like the Mission, Potrero Hill, and I even drove down 3rd last Friday night into Bayview/Hunters Point and there are a lot of empty new buildings down there that might be live/work places opening soon; plus it's right on the 3rd Street Muni light rail opening next year. I'd like to be as close to downtown as possible -- walking or biking distance to work (2nd at ) would by nice -- but I certainly wouldn't sneeze at riding Muni.

So this week I'll be spending at least one or two days in SF looking at lofts. If I remember, I'll take some photos to post.
