This Qualifies As Good News

Posted By on November 9, 2008

This is actually only news to like maybe three people. Since because of Twitter, it is easier to share news like this in 140 characters.

But anyway, in a few days time, I will be returning to the ranks of the gainfully employed. I will be required to brush my teeth every day and take showers and actually have conversations with adults and not just my cats. It is a good time in my life. Any longer and I’m sure I would turn into some sort of hermit who hordes newspapers and take out menus.

In other words, I GOT A J-O-B!!! (That’s totally deserving of the multiple exclamation points!) NaIFinGoJoMo is a SUCCESS!

I obviously won’t go into any details on here, but I am really excited about the opportunity. I really think it will be a great fit.

In other news, my cats are not excited about this turn of events. They have actually enjoyed having me home. Weird, I know. I thought they’d miss throwing all those Kitty Kat Shindigs that I hear are all the rage in the neighborhood. But they will soon be excited about this change, since it means I can still afford to buy them food.

On the other hand, my pajama pants are overjoyed at this news. They are excited that they may stick around for a bit longer since there isn’t the threat that they will be soon turning into tattered rags from all the overuse they have been getting. Seeing as I haven’t worn a non-pajama pant in consecutive days for a few months.

So, yay! For the job and also because I’m rewarding myself with an iPhone as a “Yay! You got a job!” gift.

    Like I said before, I’m doing a happy dance in your honor!

    But now I’m jealous, as you’re getting an iPhone before me! BWAH!!! πŸ™

    Then again, my birthday is 2 weeks from today, so maybe I shouldn’t be so quick to be sad…

  36. The evil side of me wants to see you post more info about the job to see just how long it will take to get fired for the blog. But the lovely side of me that goes out in public and has friends is very, very happy for you. Then the evil side is jealous that you get an iPhone and tells the lovely side to shut up.
