I HAVE A JOB!! I HAVE A JOB!!

[supernova]

After two years of successfully evading gainful employment, I have A JOB!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


Man, what a long, strange, frightening haul. I'm a lot bolder, a lot thinner, and a lot blonder than when I started this trip in August of 2002.

It will be very fun working with a group I think I will very much enjoy getting to know. And I'll be doing my favorite thing... working with manuscripts.

I'm also getting a substantial pay raise and a promotion! HA! Take that W*!

:bounce: *doing cartwheels* :bounce:

1. Great. Congratulations!

May good fortune, like a hungry cat, follow you around everywhere you go.

[supernova]

17. Ohh, I like this!

I will be able to get a kitty now. I've been looking at all the pretty kitty pics here in the Lounge for so long... and I miss having a kitty. I was so sad I couldn't afford to keep a pet.

But now... :think: :loveya:

[Lavender Brown]

2. Congratulations!

:toast: :party: :bounce:

I work with manuscripts too!

[supernova]

18. Thank you Winter1979

What kind of manuscripts will you be working with?

Mine will be tech docs.

[Lavender Brown]

28. I work in children's book publishing

[supernova]

39. That sounds fun!

I love children's books sometimes more than adult books.

I think children's authors are better storytellers.

:toast: :bounce: Now...don't hurt yourself before you even start. ;)

[supernova]

24. Thank you Mrs Grumpy

your screenname always makes me giggle. :D

I promise to use the floor matt. :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Heh. It's based on a Freudian slip of mine from a few years back.

Suffice to say, PassingFair's kids always call me MrsGrumpy...so there you have it. :hi:

And do warm up stretches!!

[redqueen]

8. Congrats!!!!

:toast:

Good to hear such wonderful news early in the a.m... hope your co-workers are all smart, fun liberals!!!!

:bounce:

[supernova]

25. I think they are

fairly liberal. It's an international division; no pre-employment drug screening so I don't have to pee in a cup. Yay!! Casual dress, fleixble hours.

[redqueen]

33. Oh that sounds awesome!

I'm so happy for you - and just a teeeeensy bit jealous - OK a lot!!

I've experienced so many rejections, I was seriously doubting this would work out either. But, they chose me. Lucky them. ;-)

[onebigbadwulf]

10. What kind of manuscripts?!

I don't know where to submit mine.

[supernova]

27. These are software manuals

for a Fortune 500 Co.

[demnan]

11. Congrats to you!!!

Glad you found something you really liked and pays well too!!! :toast:

[supernova]

30. Mee too!

I was deeply dispairing that I would find what I was looking for: a place where I fit in; the subject matter is challenging; and the pay is pretty close to what I was asking for.

[livetohike]

12. Congratulations supernova!

:bounce:

[supernova]

31. Thanks, livetohike

I hope to be doing some real hiking this fall. I've logged enough time on the treadmill to rack up some endurance.

Where do you like to hike?

[livetohike]

36. I hike locally in San Diego County mostly but

I just got back from a week's camping vacation in the Trinity-Alps Wilderness in Northern California. It's west of Mt. Shasta. Get there sometime, you will love it!

I hope your luck wears off on me. I have been unemployed since Sept. 2000. So your news is Great News and gives me some hope that maybe I will join the work force soon, too.

[supernova]

42. I wish you the best

and hope a good job will come your way soon livetohike, one that will have been worth the wait. :hug: :hug:

[peekaloo]

From another who is bolder, thinner, and blonder in the last couple of years, it's fun, isn't it? Enjoy!

[supernova]

34. Yes, it is!

It's like people notice me now where they didn't before. What's up with that?
