Oh, hey. How’s it hanging.
Me? Not too much. The yoosh. (Giggle.)
A shit-eating grin, you say?
I suppose I might. It’s nothing.
Well, I don’t want to jinx it…
Okay, okay. God, you’re pushy.
I GOT THE JOB.
(You may buy me a drink now.)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s still some details (very important details) to work out, but if all goes according to plan, I should be at a very different sort of Holiday Party this year. (I heard tell of pomegranate mojitos and a karaoke room.* Just saying.)
The place is huge and grand and all important and politicky and such, basically the wet dream of an International Politics major. I couldn’t be more excited. And now when people ask what my major was in college, and subsequently ask where I work, they won’t look at me as if I just said I use boogers to mosaic my lampshades on the weekends.
Too much? Sorry.
I only have one great fear… As I promised Lem that I will never leave her alone in the dark place, scared and lonely with no e-hugs or e-farts or e-incredibly offensive remarks about the unsuspecting innocents of the world, the question of whether Gmail/chat will be available looms on the horizon. Because without it, I would totally e-die.
But for now, can I just say… Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! I don’t even mind that someone got here by googling “my secret taboo love preteen” yesterday. (It came up with my Banana Pants post. Figures.) Let’s celebrate!
It’s Business Time, bitches!
*Huge thanks to Beach Bum for thinking of me! I owe you, chica.

Congratulations! Like we ever had any doubt. I have no doubt that you will find a way to combine solving the world’s problems with TMI Thursday.
Best wishes on your continued success. Or some crap like that. You go LiLu! As my brother once told me, the best days at work are the days between getting a new job and telling you’re old boss you’re leaving.
Enjoy them. They rock. Owe you a celebratory drinkee.
ah! congrats! that’s great news to get to start off the weekend! xo
Hooray for you! I was an International Affairs major too, but I work for a web services company. Go figure! You can tell me what it’s like to actually get to use your degree.
Congratulations. I just forwarded your resume to someone yesterday. But we definitely don’t have GChat, so you would be miserable.
Congrats! I used to work with Beach Bum …well in another department but in the same place up until June of this year. I’d ask what you’d be doing, but then again it’s a public blog.
That’s awesome. My guess is this place isn’t some alcohol-focused think tank, but hey, nothing’s perfect, right?
Congrats.
Congratulations! Lemme know when you’ll want another batch of fancy Jell-O shooters in your honor.
Fearless: You know TMI Thursday’s coming with me.
Foggy: Celebratory drinkees are my favorite flavor.
Brookem: Thanks chica- it certainly is!
Charlotte Harris: A web services company sounds cool though. Trust me, my current job is NOT cool.
Frecks: Thanks for thinking of me though! But yes, I would definitely waste away. I don’t know how you do it.
Jo: I’ll email ya
Thoughts: It is not, but another one of my interests. A more noble pursuit, perhaps. (Nonsense!)
Shannon: Anytime, lover. Anytime.
I am not even kiding…I have some severe fucking anxiety about you leaving this soul sucking job and bettering yourself. THIS IS ABOUT ME. Who am I going to talk to? Whore.
Kidding. Love you. You deserve this.
You are still a whore.
Lem: I promise, baby, we’ll make it through this rough patch and they’ll only make us stronger. And I’m only a whore when it comes to your baked goods. I’ll slut it up for those any day.
Congrats! That’s awesome! Yay for e-happyness!
Nooo I wanted to be the one who to find you a job!!!!
CONGRATS!!! That’s awesome! This Intl Affairs major is jealous, and proud of you.
Doug: Thanks mucho!
Brett: Well, nothing’s final yet… I may still need your help!
wait. i’m confused. i thought you just left a job to take this one? regardless, congrats! you rock!
happy halloweenie! will you guys be going out to celebrate tonight??
Venomiss: I quit bartending, but kept my (very boring) day job. And now it’s time to move on to a new one…
And HELLS YES we will!!!
A zillion congratulations. As a fellow Hellish Workplace captive, I am thrilled when somebody breaks free. And if Lem wants an eBuddy, send her my way. While I count the days until layoff, I e-everything (oh, and sorta look for a job). It’s the only thing that keeps me in one piece. But even that’s tenuous.
Katherine: Breaking free feels really damn good, I can’t lie. I hope soon you can do the same…
Congratulations!!! What a start to the weekend.
I just got to read this…so sorry for the delay!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is awesome. XOXOXO
I was off on my CWS yesterday (yeah, that nifty thing when you work an extra hour a day then get every other Friday off? AWESOME!) but forgot to turn my out of office on…
I logged in to my work email to turn it on, and saw an email with the subject “hiring request for Ms. LiLu.” Woohoo!
Oh yeah, not just karaoke room, hon. No, no… Latin room playing salsa and serving empanadas and mojitos. Caribbean room with mango martinis. Asian room with sushi up to the wazoo.
(And yes, gchat is not blocked.)
Beach Bum: Yayyy!!! That’s so exciting. For the job, the party, AND of course, for Gchat!
so FRICKIN excited for you.
But you already knew that
Yayyayyay! Congratulations! I’m delighted for you. And oh yeah, it’s business. It’s business time. That’s what you’re trying to say…
I love that episode almost as much as they Rhymnoceros one.
Caitlin: I did indeed, lovely lady.
Lisa: THANKS. Also,
You could be a part time model.
But you’d probably still have to keep your normal job.
A part time model.
Spend part of your time modeling.
And part of your time next to meeeeeeeeee…
