And there was much rejoicing

I got the job I wanted!

I got the call this morning, and after dancing up and down like an idiot in the hallway, I went to my old boss and told him to take this job and shove it, I'm outta here! Actually, I didn't. I told him quite politely that I got a new job and they wanted me to start immediately. Which is true. I'm supposed to start Monday but so far two people have asked if maybe I could start tomorrow. So we'll see. I also politely thanked him for giving me the opportunity to leave with dignity.

So, hurrah! Divers Alaurms. Break out the Morris Dancers, let's do the Stick and Bucket dance because I think I am finally in a position I can actually do. No more administrative assistant. I'm a Marketing Coordinator.

If all goes well, I'll have even less time to play on LJ, but I'll work something out.

Yay!

Except not the less-playing-on-LJ thing. I have missed you 'round here, woman. ;)

But, yes, yay job!

I miss you, too. It's funny because I was sure I'd spend all my afternoons on line, but I never did.

How is your new job?

And I'll have to come to Boston some day (or you to Philly) and we can meet in RL!

Congrats! That's awesome! You better let me know when you are planning on coming to Boston, since I'm only an hour away in Manchester, NH!

There, see! More excuses to go to New England! Maybe I'll be able to come up with a reason to go there for a work related thing. That'd be cool!

There's a candy store in my town that is selling gum shaped like cigars, and one is blue, and has Bush's face on it and one is pink with Kerry's. The Kerry ones were sold out! So go my town!

And Charlie is so brainwashed, when he sees John Kerry on TV he gets all excited. "Look mom! John Kerry!" It is very cute.

Aw, that's awesome! Hey, if they get any more Kerry cigars, I'd love one! But shouldn't Kerry be on the blue one?? I hope the purchasers weren't confused! LOL

It's cute you tell that story about Charlie.

A lady I work with told me her son had to do a project in school by choosing one of the candidates from any race. He chose JK. The lady, Shelly, is not terribly political but has become more interested since talking to me and our nut boss! lol

Anyway, she asked her son why he chose Kerry and he told her he had heard good things about him. So apparently he's picked up stuff from her and probably at school, which means that kids are talking about him, which means their parents must like him!

Woot! Good for you!

Great hugs! Good for you! On to better things!

YAY! Congrats on the new job! Now I have hope that people ARE getting hired for better things!

(If you do the Boston run, let me know and I'll run up to Philly to ride along in the car. I'm always up for the excuse to go to Boston, you know. :P :P )

Yay you! That's so cool! Good luck with it all.

Great news are always welcome. I really am happy for you. As for Kerry - I heard he sounded good in the last debate and Bush made an idiot of himself (again) so I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

Congratulations and the best of luck! :D

Oh boy! You've been waiting for such a time, and it has finally come through for you.

Ray!!!!

I shall uncork a bottle of Valpolicella in your honour (any excuse).

Congratulations.
