It was December of 2005, and something miraculous happened. In an unforeseen and glorious twist of fate, I pitched an idea and was sent to New York by Yahoo! to spend my final days of employment stalking Howard Stern, meeting the show cast, and blogging about it as I went. The week culminated in a huge party thrown by Howard's new employer, Sirius Satellite Radio, where I got to meet the man himself. It was a manic and thrilling experience and one that, as a longtime Howard fan, I'd never forget.It was December of 2006, and something else miraculous happened. A job posting appeared for a Managing Editor at Sirius, and the description read most literally like I'd written it myself. I immediately applied and within three hours had an interview scheduled in New York City. Last week I was offered and accepted the role. I start next Monday, February 5, 2007. To put things in perspective -- February 5, 2006 was the day Bryan and I lost, crossing the date line as we flew from LA to our first international destination: Fiji. What a difference a year makes.
I'm incredibly excited to start my new job at Sirius and to officially begin my working life here in NYC. In the meantime, I will savor my final days of unemployment; my to-do list looms large for next seven as I hope to find an apartment, purchase a makeshift work wardrobe (until we can ship our clothes from San Francisco), finish up a few projects, lunch with friends and family, and check out the remaining Best Picture nominees.
See you soon, Howard!
