En *fuego*!

Here's the thing(s):

1. Why is Jason Bourne so awesome? This is what we're doing on Thursday, atraxia: we are throwing together dinner, scarfing down Woodchuck Hard Ciders, and marathoning the Bourne movies sohelpmegod And, oh yeah, I'm bringing over a Due South disc so you can revel in the lovely that is Paul Gross

2. Totally got the position. The Regional Manager was all "hey, heard you were interested, that's great!, let me shoot you an e-mail". I conference with the Assistant Manager next week, and I start training whenever. Don't know when training is, but they better not just stick me in there because the guy I'm replacing has already moved on.

3. News must have been slowing down too much for the media, because here comes more Swine Flu panic. Joy.

4. ImprovEverywhere's MP3 Experiment No. 6 is next Saturday on Roosevelt Island. These are always tons of fun. If you're going to be anywhere near NYC I highly suggest you come out.

5. Sallie Mae, I'm onto you. When you arbitrarily decide I'm paying *too much* on my loan balance you simply stop mailing me statements. You accrue more interest, I owe you more money, it's win-win!
...!
Die a thousand times. And my online payment better go through, or I will unleash much wrath.

6. I need to get out on Monday. It's not even funny. This w/e is bound to drive me crazy. :/

Fin!

P.S. - A heartfelt THANK YOU to those on my FL who donated to NAMIWalk 2009. I did indeed walk this past Saturday, and I had a blast. You guys are wonderful. Hopefully you'll be getting a nice letter from the organization in the post soon. Be well, and keep up the good deeds. *grin*

1st - congrats on getting the position. i hope it's more up your alley. now see if you can pull some strings and get me hired :)
2nd - i'm so excited for Thursday now. if you want to stay the night - you're more than welcome to as always - can leave from here to go to work.
3rd - are you off on monday?

re: the first - Thanks. :) I'm still not exactly sure about all the position entails, but I do know I'll be wrapping up by about 5pm most days and I won't have work to bring home, so it leaves me more time for going back to school. If I can pull strings for you I will!

re: the second - I'm not working Friday, so I can chill late if your roomie doesn't mind. I will most likely end up finishing work during the beginning of the evening, though.

re: the third - working this w/e, so I'm off on Monday. I think Monday'll be my errand-accomplishing day for the week.

I'm so happy for you for getting the position! Also, I've heard that Sallie Mae's CEO made at least $3M one year, which just seems so wrong to me!

2. ya - roomie won't mind - she's gone half the time as it is.

Woot!

(Paul Gross. Mmm. Show her some Kowalski too...)

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Yes. Kowalski. I'm just afraid her TV will blow up from the HOT.

And w00t! indeed.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And, yeah, the CEO made that because he most likely helped devise their evil profit-making mechanism.

Ha! I still have the huge beginning needles and knitting video given to me by J. sitting in the corner staring at me. I'm such a slacker.

Totally got the position.
Oooh, congrats!

Why is Jason Bourne so awesome?
I DON'T KNOW. But the allure is undeniable and magical, man. We're going to have to do this soon, too...

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Bourne macguyver's people to death. I mean, he killed one dude using a *ball-point pen*! He wins!

And thanks for the congrats. *grin*

Yay for new job! I hope you like it.

Swine flu: these epidemic panics must be so much fun for health care workers!

Sallie Mae is fail. I'm so glad they don't hold any of my loans.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Sallie Mae is so much fail. If at all possible (and if it's still around) I'm going to make sure the younger folks in my fam. avoid using them for their college loans.

I actually haven't had to field too many swine flu questions. I think the media is inundating folks with so much information that people just want to hit up their doctor at the first sign of trouble. Which means less bother for me!

And thanks for the congrats. It's a step up, if nothing else.
