Perks: long lunches with “clients” and smart little business cards, monthly paychecks and organizational infrastructure, groundbreaking colleagues, free land line usage and… take a deeeeep breath…you look great in office drag!
I follow you on twitter, and so far I have been completely quiet and just enjoyed reading your updates, but I wanted to say congrats and good luck! I want to be as bold and opinionated (and right) as you are when I grow up.
Ah, Melissa! I just started my first professional feminist desk job too (funny, the term “desk job” sounds more dirty to me than not). We must meet up for coffee in office drag after work one of these days.
Also — I feel you on those awkward “hey guys, gimme a break, I was all of 12/14/19/22″ activist bios. Moments like those I’m a little embarrassed by how google-able I am. All those hyphens! Oh, ouch.
And yet? How awesome & cool that I was doing all that at 12/14/19/22. Finally, even when I cringe at my younger self, it’s cringing with love.

You so deserve it, & I so love you. <3
