So I got one of them... whaddyacallit... jobs! Yeah, a job!

[MonkeyFunk]

LOL - last week they called and said they loved me, but were going with a strategy that favored another applicant. Today they called and said strategy changed - did I still want the job?

Sigh... now I have to start wearing pants.

1. Awesome news!

Mazel tov, and best of luck! :hug:

[MonkeyFunk]

2. Thank you!

I was pretty disappointed when I didn't get it - it was really a perfect fit, imo.

So today's call was quite a surprise.

[Ellen Forradalom]

3. "Hey, how 'bout this strategy: hire the better candidate?"

Congratulations!

[MonkeyFunk]

4. You don't know how hard it was

NOT to say that to him last week.

My tongue still hurts.

You have, however, touched on the reason I do so much sermon work at home...no pants!!

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Thanks!

You should do a sermon on the evil of pants.

[Richardo]

8. Fantastic.

Wearing pants seems a small price to pay. Especially if they're toreador pants :D


Congratulations, MonkeyFunk! :toast:

[MonkeyFunk]

With my bad back, I'm not sure I could get into toreador pants. But the thought is appealing!
