I got the job. I'm in shock.

I'm happy.....but it hasn't sunk in.

I just can't wrap my head around what a huge life-change this will be.

I posted a thread about it in GD.

(and I'll probably get flamed on it, but oh well, that's GD.)

I promise this: I will never take my good fortune for granted.


Hugs to all of you!!

I'm thrilled for you, thrilled beyond words.........well, almost!

You're in shock, and that's why it hasn't sunk in yet. But it will!

When do you actually start?

The Holy Grail, indeed!

I wish you the best of luck in your new position.

BTW, I looked for your GD posting but couldn't find it. I was going to douse any flaming I found.

Thanks for sharing your good news with us.
