PLEASE DON'T QUOTE

I felt like total shitballs last night after reading the rest of the responses to marynjoe's thread about her DH being laid off.

Congrats!

Will your foot allow you to go back to work?

[sugarplum]

Good luck on the interview! Hopefully this will turn into a great full time opportunity for you.

[Nicole]

It sounds great. Look, I've been laid off 4 times. Only how you feel about it really matters. Don't listen to the nonsense.

It's a bit of a haul, but I'm at the point now where I can get on the bus and the subway and it's only for 20 hours/week. Also apparently I can do some (or a lot) of it from home.

[lightbulbsun]

That sounds really promising. Good luck!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Woohoo! This is great! How is the location?

[Deleted]

That sounds perfect then. Good luck!

[eightangryreindeer]

Anyway, we meet Monday - we'll see if it clicks between us.

WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR???

There was all you can eat free ice cream in the break room at the radio station I interned at in college (courtesy of an advertising client). I didn't realize how good I had it back then.

Oh man, there was all-you-can-eat pudding at one of my college jobs. Like, so much pudding. It was pretty amazing.

LTP, good luck with the interview and congrats!

Hey good luck!

And don't feel like shit re: yesterday's post. The two situations are so not the same.

[Kit]

Good news, good luck!

[alzi]

I think it's originally from Robinson Crusoe, from the character Man Friday. It describes an assistant or personal assistant who basically handles everything, is multi-skilled in many different areas, who swoops in and saves the day.

Then there was the Cary Grant movie called His Gal Friday.

I'm not thrilled about taking an "assistant" position, and I hope it doesn't kill me as a step backwards.

[Deleted]

This is great news!

[gault]

Yay! Good luck.

[ering1115]

Good luck!

Even if it is an assistant position, it is not a step backwards. You are changing fields and with that comes adjustment, and sometimes a lower pay grade or lower title than what you previously held. (I have practiced this line for myself a bit if you can't tell)

You will do GREAT!

Thanks, you're right.

[Deleted]

Good luck! Any position is better than no position, and I think you have a great outlook on the whole thing!

[sprky79]

You can probably work out a fancier name for the title :-)

[scotty]

Very cool!
