CAPTAIN'S BLOG, SUPPLEMENTAL
This is the email I received this morning from my soon-to-be new supervisor:
Hi Sam,
I hear you were offered the position and that you accepted it! Just want to let you know that I'm so pleased we will be working together. You have a great attitude and so many natural talents. I hope you find Harcourt as unendingly interesting as I do. Look forward to seeing you on the 26th!

As you can see, she really seems to actually give a patoot about the job - and I think that will make a huge difference for me. I'm thrilled to finally work for someone who, you know, has standards.
And, I suspect that little dancing goblins with pointy shoes will be stuffing cash into my pockets all day long while I'm at work, and THAT will make a huge difference, too.
Whee!
sooo......

Very cool. Massive congratulations to Master Samwise. If anyone deserves a decent job right about now, it is you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joe - you're very kind...and yes, John, I DO have natural talents.
ReplyDeleteI'll have you know that I am highly skilled at juggling evenly-sized fruits, at correctly determining the proper usage of "your" and "you're" in a sentence, and at storming castles.
Don't believe me?
Find me a castle.
fine...great...wonderful....blog comments will forever be filled with only the whitest of bunnies and the softest verbal cotton i can muster from the depths of my aged throat.
ReplyDeleteyou are brilliant and I am pleased you have a wonderful job. You deserve it. Very proud of you Sam.
