Meta Today Is Our Birthday
Mallory: Today is our six-month birthday. The months are "rattling inside us like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box." Where has the time gone? (Into the past, presumably). Nicole, what were you doing last January 1st?
Nicole: Before we go ANY further, I want to make it clear that I will be truly celebrating this birthday tomorrow, as our actual launch day involved hackers and tears and being on hold with our hosting provider all day, but it's amazing what time can do to erase trauma, is it not? Last January 1st (according to my records) I found our current, superb Kim-Kardashian-looking babysitter on Sittercity, purchased Claire Bloom's Leaving a Doll's House, and received an email from you saying that your New Year's resolution was to quit your job. I had not yet thought about quitting my own, perfectly pleasant job, and I am sure I thought your plan to do so was very The Girl From Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken.
I also remember that I served as a job reference for you, and when the interviewer asked me if I had anything else to say, I said "you should hire her, but if I ever start my own site, I will immediately force her to quit and come work with me," and then the interviewer and I chuckled warmly and ended the call. Okay, what have you learned over the last six months?
Mallory: I quit so many jobs in the last year! I quit the New Year's Resolution one sometime last February. I quit one job three weeks in. Then I quit another job before I started it. I'm not really a Job Quitter; it was just like there were all these ice floes I had to hop over to get to the solid ground of Toast Safety. And I made it.
