At last!

Aug 25, 2008 16:41

I just found out today that I've been promoted to Lab Associate II which - long story - is the position I left 2 years ago for all of 6 months and have been trying to get back ever since. It's still $2 less an hour than I was making 2 years ago but it's also $3 more an hour than I'm making now so I'm just going to shut up about it. My supervisor ( Read more... )

*Flails happily for you, earning disapproving glares from cats*

Thanks for the Yay! and please let the cats know that I'm more than willing to scritch them between the ears to make up for the commotion.

::hug:: Thank you, sweetheart!

So very happy to hear from you. After the obvious congratulations, mazel tov etc., YAY and MORE POWER to you for holding on until you got what you hoped for.

And the nursing program - double yay. Believe my 25 years' experience, mature-age students are the ones teachers enjoy most, because they have switched-on shit detectors, and a sense of humour, and tons of motivation.

Forget fandom, it's *you* we like. (And I should be travelling to LA for something else next Northern summer, and am so looking forward to meeting you as a big extra bonus)

Thank you thank you! For the most part I had given up on the promotion. It had been brought up so many times only to fall through that I didn't want to hear about it anymore. Then out of nowhere ... Needless to say, I'm walking a little lighter now.

I'm so excited about school. It's going to take a while but I have this sense that I'm finally on the right path and that any hard work I put into it is going to pay off in the end.

I promise you, next summer I will not be a flake. I'm really looking forward to meeting you, too!

::big hug:: \o/ woo-hoo, sweetheart!!! I'm with you. I'm sure the Mayan's just got tired of working on the calendar probably somewhere around 2010 and then finally chucked it at 2012. I'm going to plan a big blow out in 2013 just to prove it. You're invited!

Yay!

And hold on a sec, let me see if I can do the math...

YOU, NOW: student loans.
2012, YOU, GRADUATED, TIME TO PAY OFF STUDENT LOANS: World ends.

Ha! Joke's on Sallie Mae!

Re: \o/ true_enough August 26 2008, 22:14:42 UTC

LOL! You. Are amazing. You somehow managed to find the silver lining to the world ending. Sorry Sallie Mae! Honest. The check was in the mail but ::poof!!!:: And, at the rate I'm going the joke is on Visa, Mastercard and couple department stores, too. ::somehow oddly relieved::
