I have a job

[danaeris]

They're writing up an offer as I type, and I should receive it sometime by the end of tomorrow. So, assuming I like the offer, which I probably will, I have a full-time job.

The sad thing is, I should be dancing in the snow, but instead I feel like I have stomach acid. I was more excited about getting the job Saturday than I am today -- probably primarily because of my current mood, which is anxious for reasons unrelated to the job offer.

Congrats!

Is that here? Or where? They were still dithering here, last I heard.

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

yup, there. Haven't had any other interviews, though that may have very well changed if they had dithered much longer.

Excellent! I shall begin preparing my extensive collection of Knock-Knock jokes at once.

"Your own number on your very own door. And behind that door, your very own office! Welcome to the team, DZ-015!

*giggles* Have I mentioned that you're very funny? When I laugh, the feeling of severe anxiety in the pit of my stomach goes away for a while. So, thanks for the laugh.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you!


And you're welcome.

I'm thinking a celebration involving something stomach-soothing. Chocolate is basic, right? ;)

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

You work in biology, right? That's kind of like a doctor. So, doctors orders.

Have I rationalized enough?

[benndragon.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Dude, I vote you go for the yummy, rationalization or not. Milk is also basic, so either make it a hot chocolate made with milk, or a chocolate milk-shake. Or have your chocolate and milk seperately. Man, now I've got a craving for Oreos. . .

Congratulations and good luck! And chocolate!

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

thankee! There was chocolate. Oh yes, there was chocolate.

I'm sorry other things are causing you anxiety and taking from your pleasure in this, but congratulations. It really sounded like a good opportunity.

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm feeling a little better now, and I bet after a night's sleep, I'll feel even better!

First off, congratulations!

I can relate with the fear about starting something new. I've had my share of job changes, and each time, I'm always nervous/awkward. It takes me almost a year to ease in, then I start another new job!

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

Well, part of the anxiety from today was there before they called me. But yeah, I'm definitely nervous about the job. I get anxious and out of sorts so easily, I hope I can handle the pressure of this low-pressure job.

Ok, I'm being stupid here, this is the job for Discover, yes? If so, wow and congratulations.

If not, still, wow and congratulations.

*hugs*

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm not THAT cool. Besides, Discover is in NYC, and I don't like NYC.

This job is with a small company working on their newsletter. It pays well though and has good benefits.

Oh, and thanks for the congratulations and hugs. I dreamed about you and your family last night!

You were living just down the block from us, so I wanted to take my father over to W&S. I tried to peek in and see if it was ok for me to bring him by, but your middle child showed up immediately and let us in, and no one old enough to convey that kind of message was there. gira's little one wandered in and then into another room; she had an interesting new hair color. Then an adult ventured down, was excited to see me since I don't live in the Bay Area anymore, and invited us upstairs. Things were being a little more sexual than they're supposed to be... I think someone wandered by showing a broken dildo which was too limp to use. Someone must have run ahead of us to let coyote3502 know my father was with me, because when we got to where he was, there was a dining room table withpeople socializing in a very "normal" fashion. coyote3502 greeted me with a kiss, which I at first resisted and then decided, "what the hell, my father may be watching, but damn it, he's hot and a good kisser and I care for him." There was nice kissing.

Throughout the conversation around the table, I kept on asking for you, and I even wandered around looking for you at one point. It became clear that no one was telling me where you were because you were having, um, fun with someone and people couldn't tell me that in front of my dad.

So, there you have it, or something!

[deedeebythebay.livejournal.com]

LOL, your poor dad!!!! A broken dildo indeed!

And V's haircolor is now bright chocolate cherry red!

Congratulations! How soon can you and Piet work out a carpooling arrangement? (I'm happy for you, of course - but I'm equally happy for the prospective enhancement of our budget as a result of a workable carpool. :) )

[marius23.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

New jobs are stressful; at least you don't have additional stress related to leaving a job. :-)

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Stress sure can pile up, and that's the last thing I need. :)

*hugs* thanks for the congratulations!

[lariel.livejournal.com]

Congratulations also!

You will rock, do not fear!

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

Positive experience builds confidence. So, one step at a time and I'll get there eventually. And rock. :)

Hope all is well with you and the boy and the puppy. Hey, could you mail me your address? I still have your key!
