And on the First day.....
If you didn't know I got a job. It went well. It's with Government Services Group. They do stuff. I don't really know what and it doesn't really matter.
I wanted to thank everyone for their love and support. I know I gave up hope about 67 times and was just about impossiable to deal with, but I have to do that for things to go right. Maybe not, but I do it anyway.
Thank you to everyone who wrote and re-wrote my resume, cover letters and those new things they have out now; Thank you letters. Thank you all for putting up with my piss poor attitude (though that probably had more to do with the Other Situation than anything). But, now I have a positive thing to go with and it feels good.
To celebrate I did what all of you would have done and bought three new records. Which is oddly what I do when I'm feeling sad and that sad feeling isn't from not having an income.

All of which are very good. I also got a very special gift, but I promised not to speak of it. (no, KG, nothing like that you pervert. It was just very nice and unexpected.)
So, many of you are probably wanting to know about my first day (Oh and if you didn't know I got a job). It went well. It's with Government Services Group. They do stuff. I don't really know what and it doesn't really matter. It's a mile and a half from the house. I have an office, but I do share it with someone. Her name is Sarah, she's young, probably a student since she's only part time and she has big boobs. Didn't get to talk to her, so that's all I know. It's doing accounting work. It's just me and my boss and it's a different situation as my position is new, so I am pretty much setting up what it does. Seems like, so far, I'll have a lot of input and it's not just the same thing over and over. I think I'm going to like it. So that was day one. I even tucked my shirt in. I felt dirty. It's only missing two thins, really: covered parking and Mormon Girls. Other than that, it's seems pleasant. Now, since I got up at 7AM for the first time in months, I must go sleep.

Ahem - I told you so.
That being said...YAY!!!!!! Celebrate? Paradise? Next Friday?
OK so congrats on the job but my dear friend, me...a pervert? My, my...you must have me confused with someone else.
(with my good Scarlett O'Hara impression) "My dear, what eva do you mean?"
As an aside, thought I'd share a pretty funny story told to me by my boss - he was at his daughter's HS soccer playoff game and they were in Zebulon, GA (yea I have no idea where it either but if you don't know where it is, must mean redneck country) so OK, watching the game and this player from zebulon comes over to my boss and his wife sitting there and asks a question about the soccer bag sitting in front of them. Ready...she says "is that ya'lls isis?"
So my boss said, "I'm sorry what?" and she just ever so politely asks one more time "Is that ya'lls is is?"
So new word now... ya'lls isis
Just had to share b/c it made me bust out laughing, maybe it was just b/c my boss telling me this is hilarious!
Wow, our edumaction system at work.
Hope it gave you a little chuckle. Have a great weekend!
Government Services Group? That sounds nondescript in a sinister sort of way, like something out X-Files. Anyway, it's great news that you're a salaryman again. Now that you're a G-Man, you can infiltrate the organization from the inside.

Welcome to the fun, wild world of being a government agent (or contractor agent, or whatever). Just remember it's hell when they coat your bones in unbreakable metal
