Today I found out that I got one of the jobs I’ve been looking at, and that I’ll be leaving here on May 10. YES!! I have a departure date! I mean, I’ll still be enrolled here, because it’s school-to-work, and I’ll be coming back in November, but I’ll have six whole months away from here! Thursday or Friday of next week I’ll be travelling to the upper peninsula of Michigan, where the job is, to meet my boss and look at some apartment options she came up with for me. OH MY GOODNESS! I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!! 
Best of luck.
Why thank you 
Be careful in the occupied territories. One day, and I promise you that day will come soon, we will reclaim our birthright. By violence if necessary.
A job…? Jeeze. And there I was with my condoms speech all lined up and ready to go.
LoL, thank you for your good intentions, anyway. They’re appreciated, even if they don’t apply here, and I’m a bit too old for the condoms speech anyway. 
Good work!
You might even miss the worst of the snow.
We are NEVER too old for the condom speech. "What do you mean, OOPS? 
LoL, I’m used to the snow. Though it might not be pleasant, I can handle it. Honestly, I don’t even care. I’ll spend six months in this job, then go somewhere else. I could just cry with relief, I’m serious.
Congrats on the job - and yes, like Tab, I thought you meant ‘a date’ date
Thanks very much, Mags. I’m fairly excited. Tomorrow the center has hired a personal driver to take me up there for my formal interview, should be interesting.
Like i said before… good job and good luck, hope you have fun, and put as much as you can in the bank… bills SUCK!!!
Don’t put your money in the bank. Before you know it they’ll have converted into some kind of debt security which they then sell eight times over to jack up the price before someone comes along and points out that it’s bullshit, thus we get another crash and your savings disappear to pay bonuses because ‘if the bank can’t attract the best talent then it can’t get out of the hole it is in’.
LoL, so what do you suggest I do, stuff it in my mattress? Put it in a coffee can and bury it in the back yard? I’m open to suggestions, here.
I’m pretty sure Blurry’s not about to get a stock broker…savings and checking are still insured by the government, so unless it goes belly-up that’s alright.
