[LynneSin]

19. Here's a congratulatory prayer my mother taught me....

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

[DS1]

20. Didn't see that one coming

You gotta try harder than that

But I'm in a good mood, I'll let that Rumsfeld contamination in my job thread slide.

[LynneSin]

[DS1]

62. Nope

I sent you a distinct I GOT IT! message before I even posted here

I got it, btw

edit: which is also why the kitty treats message started with "and" as in the second message I'd sent today

I'm very excited for you.

[DS1]

66. It's been a good week

[SOteric]

Crabs are an option

I'm slowly getting happier as it sinks in

It's.... PERFECT!

[jonnyblitz]

[Kat45]

79. That's great!

And hey, if there's any leftover DU good vibes, please pass them on my way. I haven't even gotten any calls for interviews yet.

[DS1]

81. Passing them your way

start a thread when you get a call

took me about three months since i picked up my degree

[KitchenWitch]

82. The Lounge has been good for new jobs lately!

Congratulations!

[DS1]

84. Indeed it has!

I thought, naahh, there's no way the lounge can help me get a job. Shit, I've been without a decent job for what seems like for-fooking-ever. I used to make an obscene amount of money, but was too young and dumb to know what to do with it. Then the dot.com implosion happened, and suddenly we WERE ALL out on our luck. That was in 2001. Early 2001, 9/11 had nothing to do with it.

But, I had a GI BILL system that owed me money for college, and I took it, because, dammit, I earned it. And I put myself through school, and did the menial jobs on the side to pay for it all. And here I am.

[Susang]

83. Congratulations

Now give it back.

[DS1]

86. Here

*toss*

You can have cloud9 back, it needs to be passed on anyway

[bertha katzenengel]

85. CONGRATULATIONS

Couldn't'a happened to a nicer guy.

[DS1]

92. or a bigger asshole

Thanks

[bertha katzenengel]

107. truthfully that's what I wanted to say --

but this medium is so scary, the way you can't get looks, voice inflections, body language across. I wasn't sure you'd know it was meant in a spirit of friendship. Dick.

[DS1]

110. I'll let you in on a secret

Bertha Ventanion is on ignore

But you aren't.

[Fenris]

87. Congrats, M.

[DS1]

93. Thanks, X

:zombienixonpointyphoto:

[GOPisEvil]

88. Yeah, baby! The good job news continues!

[DS1]

94. Yes, it did

I thought it would stop moments before it was my turn :whew:

[Redstone]

90. What job? I missed this one.

103. Ya know

[southlandshari]

104. Dayum! That was FAST!

Just saw you say on another thread that you are a grouchy old ass for hire....

Whoever hired you (and your grouchy old ass, of course) made a very wise choice, if you ask me!

[DS1]

105. I'm not going to be that grouchy anymore

I'm happy now. Hell, for the first time ever, I think DU is going to see what kind of a person I am when I'm happy with my job.

Wow.

[southlandshari]

106. Does this mean

that I'm allowed now to tell that you really are a nice person?




Really, really happy for you, my cheerful friend!

[Maddy McCall]

108. Is it in your degree field? If so, may I say LUCKY!!!
