GOT MY DREAM JOB!!

So, I started this blog just to have something to do during the day, and also to have some samples of my writing online. Granted some of the things I wrote about should probably not be used as samples for potential employers, but I was just having some fun blogging about various things. Well, all I can say is that this blog definitely paid off. I just received word that I got a new job. After more than 9 months of unemployment I will now once again be employed. Of course, if you say "my blog got me a job" you know it isn't to be a normal job, and you may be wondering what the job is...

I will be the Social Media Specialist for a farm in New Orleans, Louisiana. The farm specializes in raising hogs and growing medicinal marijuana. Oh yeah, and they are shooting a pilot for a new reality show called "Reefer Hog Wild". My post about not using drugs so I don't end up on the internet dancing in jorts brought my blog to their attention and they emailed me offering me the job. I will be blogging/tweeting/facebooking about the daily happenings on the farm, which they assure me will get pretty wacky. The premise of the show will be that they have a different famous pot smoking celebrity coming in each episode to work on the farm. The Dogg Father himself, Snoop, will be the guest star of the pilot. So not only do I get an amazing job as a Social Media Specialist, but I also get to meet Snoop. I am extremely happy and excited about this whole thing, and figured the best way to spread the word would be to use the blog that got me the job! I actually need to start packing and getting things ready for the big move, I will be flying down Monday to see where I will be living and to sign my contracts and stuff, then I come back home for a week and move down officially the following Monday! Wish me luck, and I'll post all the links for the new Blog, Twitter, and Facebook pages as soon as I start them. Thank you all for supporting my blog and helping me get this dream come true opportunity!
