So, remember the job opportunity that didn't work out? They came back with a better offer. I start tomorrow.
[*happy dance*]
I had very specific goals in mind for my new job in Portland, whatever it was to be. Goal #1 was a 20 minute commute. I was tired of wasting two hours a day just getting where I needed to go. Goal #2 was a certain salary range. Goal #3 was to work for a progressive, ethical company with a demonstrated commitment to the local community. Goal #4 was a position that I could obtain with my present skills and experience but which would offer real responsibility and real opportunity for growth. Goal #5 -- my longshot, pipe-dream goal -- was a casual dress environment.
Check.
Check.
Check.
Check.
Check.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to IKEA.

Huge congrats! Especially the casual dress thing. Just don't wear liederhosen.
I think maybe you mean lederhosen? Which, frankly, I would have thought you'd have been in favor of, otter-boy. Liederhosen? I done hung up my singing pants.
Congratulations, Andy! That's awesome news. Good for you for holding and getting what you wanted. :-)
Hurrah!
Great, Andy. I was thinking about you and your job situation today and had planned to send some encouragement out Oregon way. But instead, well-deserved congratulations are in order.
I think it all came about through a combination of good looks, progressive Christianity, and cat karma.
Congrats!
Glad to hear that things worked out in the end! Good for you.
I'm happy for you.
Will it give you time for hobbies of real interest to you (coughs under breath: community theatre)
