Gaudeamus Igitur

I got the job, and they're bringing me in $2500 higher than list, because I'm JUST THAT GOOD, y'all, I'm so very desirable.

I start on the 12th, so I have next week to set my affairs in order, tell my freelance clients that I'll have decreased capacity going forward, do my 2006 taxes, buy some work pants, and so forth.

The prospect of imminent paychecks is making me a little giddy...will I go to the record store or the comic book shop first? Do I need some new kicks? I may need some luxury groceries--like olives, juice, and danish butter (!!!). Or maybe I just need to see a matinee movie each day next week, with a big cherry coke in one hand and a box of hot tamales in the other.

Hot-cha, my brothers and sisters: my time of bust-ass brokeness and uninsured nervousness is nearly over.

Yay Nora!

p.s. can I say that you're one of my favorite posters here and that I'm glad things are starting to look up for you?

You know what? Thanks. I likes you too. And also, I am pumped in a completely tool-ish, un-cool way about being gainfully the fuck employed and making corporate money again, haw haw! And I do not feel bad about it, no no!

Congrats: What about

I could easily meet you at the train station, which is a quick walk to the gallery site.

I has.

If I come in on the train that arrives at 4:46, will that suit? We can cab, too, if necessary, yeah? My only other option from Boston is to arrive too early at 3:07. Sucks that the last train leaves at 9:42--that's WAY before I turn back into an urchin and run crying to my attic garrett...

Yeah, that'd be fine.

Yeah, that'd be fine. Seriously though, it's about a 5-10 min walk and I hate the idea of taking cabs (excepting inclement weather or airport runs)...the last MBCR train to Boston leaves probbydense at 9:42? that's fucked. Guess they must've changed their schedule again

Congrats. Personally, I'd

Personally, I'd suggest some sort of liquid-chocolate dispensing machine for ready-made hot chocolate at home. Like an expresso-machine/keg sorta contraption.

yum.

Thanks, Costa. A hot chocolate keg is a tantalizing idea...perhaps Williams-Sonoma carries such a thing.

And, it occurred to me, that what I really need is a new freaking stereo.

hooray!

I recommend Junior Mints.

Good luck with the job!
