Yes, dear and gentle readers, you read that right. I landed a real full time job today. In keeping with the tradition of not getting dooced, I won't tell you where I am working other than in the most vague and general sort of way. (NOTE: Dooce was featured in In Touch magazine with a full page photo in an article called Women Who Blog. How cool is that? She is the High Priestess of Blogdom, amen.)
I am working for a company that distributes windows and doors. I will be doing bookkeeping and order co-ordination.
Am I excited? HELL YES! I think I will really enjoy this and I liked the boss type people very much. And I even get to wear big girl grown up work clothes. As in slacks. And a blouse. Or sweater. And real shoes. Not Red Wing work boots.
I must stop typing now because I think I'm going to faint from sheer joy.
Yay! I am so happy for you...Congrats and have a big glass of vino to celebrate

Congratulations! Sounds like a terrific opportunity.

Congratulations! Hope it is everything you want it to be.
P.S. That Dooce article I sent you? It was actually from the January 2006 edition of Glamour in case anyone is looking for it.

Lisa, way to go!
I knew you could do it, and you did.
Good things come to those who go out and grab them!

Time of year being what it is, I am a bit behind on my blogs. So I was overjoyed to catch up on yours and read this post. I am just thrilled for you. When you are good-and you clearly are--you're good!

Congrats!
What kind of clothes are required at your new job?
Are you wearing long dressy slacks and heels?
Posted by: Cathy | December 25, 2005 at 05:08 PM
I wear slacks and sweaters or blouses and since it's winter, I get to wear some of my many pairs of cool boots that aren't work boots.
Friday is casual day, jeans or khakis and a sweater.
