… after six months of diligently checking job boards every day, applying for jobs, and checking your monster.com, careerbuilder.com, and indeed.com job alert emails every morning…

… getting to DELETE said emails without even opening them because you ALREADY HAVE YOUR DREAM JOB!

(And I guess now that happiness also includes using ellipses at an annoying frequency.)

I got the job!  I got the job!

Holy crap I got the job!

Same company, lateral move (no raise) but who cares, same boss, 100% work from home…

Oh my God I’m so happy!  The job I’ve been trying to get for 15 months…

I

GOT

THE

JOB!!!

You are now talking to an INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER.

Thanks everyone who prayed so hard for this dream to come true for me.  I’m so happy I think I’m going to pass out!

Random Crap From My Hard Drive!

I don’t know… I’m sure something saved from my days on the Something Awful forums.

Still don’t know.

I love The Young Ones.

You know The Bunny Suicides?  This is one I made myself.

This is a logo from some NY restaurant that I distorted as a commentary about a story of some guy who was very proud of himself by throwing a milkshake on someone in an act of revenge.

Poor Mr. Orange!  (Have I posted this before?  Well, here it is again.)

I always wanted to get up close to a red panda. This girl must be on some sort of game show. She got to spend a lot of time with two baby red pandas. Here’s a minute or two of it. Prepare to get jealous and want the same cuteness!

The company pet show this Saturday was great fun. I went with my friend Elizabeth, who caught on to using my camera very quickly and took these pictures.

It was great fun to run into a deputy I used to work with at the jail. His St. Bernard’s name was Bella. Here’s Bella and Moose together.

There were so many awesome dogs there.

Scooter the mixed breed rescue dog.

Spike Lee the min-pin

Gordo and Houston the boxers

Wally the bulldog

Moose and I took first place in the owner-pet look alike contest. I said we looked alike because we were both natural brunettes with auburn highlights, we both drooled when we sleep, and we both had impressive tails.

Moose and I with the first place ribbon and our choice of prize.

Moose made a lot of friends.

There were lots of talent competitions, but the finale was the best in show.

Everyone lined up for judging.

The tension was high. The competition was cutthroat.

Who won the best in show out of 40 animals?

I have started putting some pics up at The Sparky Chronicles again - the blog I try and maintain that is dedicated to my parents and the puppy I got them for Christmas last year.

If you’re not visiting there, you’re missing quality posts like this (starring my mom and Sparky):

THE NEWEST DESIGN!

Here at Puptex™ 19.5-hour Undergarments, we are always looking for the next new technology to help ladies look their best.

Puptex is proud to announce the release of its newest product: The Puptex™ Pup-guard Girdle.

This girdle is a real-live puppy that lifts, separates, smooshes, flattens, and detracts attention from those “problem areas” in our midriff and thighs that may be hindering us all from feeling as beautiful as possible. The Pup-guard girdle can restore your confidence, and its neutral color goes with any outfit.

The Puptex™ Pup-guard girdle:  Don’t go for walkies or “car ride!  car ride!” without it.

Christine needs our positive thoughts now, as she spends the next few weeks going through surgery and tests to find out if she has cancer. Please send thoughts, prayers, whatever positive energy you have.
