They said the decision was unanymous, and they were so excited they couldn't wait to call me.

Hoooray!
Congrats on the job Lisa.
That is great news.
Good things come to those who wait.

Thanks guys! Yeah it took some waiting. Almost 4 months!

Now I can start crossing my fingers for the two of you.

If you want stacks. Pete (Petes 6.0) has his for sale. He had offered them to me but I already made the deal with Kenny. If I had the extra cash I would have bought both sets and decided which ones I wanted then sell the other ones.

Yup she definatly did!!!!!
Thanks Jim. I'm so excited I think I might have to go shopping. I think I'll need some dress pants anyways.

I can talk to Pete about his stacks. I haven't decided yet if I want to do it or not. I really should be thinking about new wheels/tires/shocks.

Actually it had gotten to the point to where Randy and I were talking about moving me back to Denver, just so I could get a job. Who knows what that would've done to our relationship, and what would have happened. But, I couldn't have survived much longer without a source of income.

Jay I start on Monday. They work 7:45 to 4:30 Monday - Thursday and 7:45 to 1:00 on Fridays.

Yeah I thought so too!!! Really, really good bennies too.

The salary is less than what I left in Denver, but the marketing manager said "we're going to be reviewing the job descriptions and see if we can get you a whole lot more".

The vacation doesn't truly kick in until I've been there for a year, but I will have days to take here and there when I need them. After a year vacation jumps to 2 1/2 weeks, plus plenty of sick time, and "personal days".
