Dear Universe, thank You very much for the lovely gift. It is very nice, and I will use it every day

I have accepted a one-year contract position at Cadbury Schweppes, in their European Beverages Group, starting November 4.

If they have an Employee Purchase Program that includes Cadbury Creme Eggs, I may be in serious trouble.

I expect to be able to be more productive on my personal writing, reviewing, and editing projects than I have been during the period when I in theory had a lot more time. Overcommitment and busy-ness seems to work for me.

I still do not know how to job-hunt, but I seem to be job-prey.

Hey Congrats to you and best of luck. Those Cadbury Creme Eggs are deadly! Yum!Yum!

Whoo hoo! Congratulations on taking the job.

Remember that if you hate the commute... use this as a springboard for a closer job.

Have fun! And you'll have lots of Snapple to drink.

Yay you! Where do I sign up to be part of the Great Corporate Creme Egg Pillage? :)

I don't even like Creme Eggs. :)

Waah! Can I at least rub up against you, in about two months, so maybe some of the job-scent will mark off on me? ;)

Me - I love the Cadbury *dark* chocolate bars. They are almost impossible to find though.

*sigh*

Great going! Now you have time to practice the job hunt, if you want.

*****CONGRATULATIONS*****

Contract positions of any length often turn out to be permanent. I hope you enjoy your work.

Congratulations! Believe me, I know JUST how you feel right now. :) I hope that you make wonderful new friends at the new place, and that perhaps the planets will align right, and you find permanent gainful employment at a cool place. (Darnit, all these OTHER people seem to have real jobs for like DECADES and stuff, why can't we?)

Funny how it's possible to get more done now that we have actual jobs than we could when we didn't? But I know what you're talking about there, too. :)
