Flash back in a psychedelic Wayne's World sort of way:
So, does anyone remember the one thing I always seemed to moan and groan about while I was in Utah? Any guesses? Any at all? It was the serious lack of Trader Joe's in the area. Let it be known that I am definitely attached to this delightsome neighborhood grocery store, and was thrown off when I didn't have one within walking distance of my abode.
Flash forward to today:
You are now friends and/or acquainted with the newest crew member of the Tyson's Corner Trader Joe's! Hoorah! To be perfectly honest, it wasn't the sort of job I was expecting to land when I came out to DC, but I definitely lucked out in a different sort of way. Not only is Trader Joe's an amazingly awesome place to shop, but from what I have assessed in my 2.5 hours "behind the scenes" it's an equally awesome company. They encourage recycling (if you know me, then you would know how excited this makes me), they give back to the community (huge), plus the other crew members are laid back and super nice. And I can wear my somewhat hippy attire to work! Could it get any better than that?
Here's to having work in this time of economic disaster! And seriously, if you haven't been to a Trader Joe's, get thyself hence!!!

Congrats on the new job! That is so awesome. It seems like a great place to work. Perhaps not in your "field" but certainly a great in-betweener job. You MUST check this out. It is so catchy I find myself randomly singing it. Enjoy!

I LOVE Trader Joe's and have been missing it horribly since we moved to Portugal! I've always thought it would be a fun place to work. Congrats!
