Good news!

[scottish]

Not really comic related, but I wanted to share with the people that I spend quite a bit of my time with.

 

After being out of work for over a week now I'll start my new job on Tuesday! It's a contract position so who knows how long it will last, but the good news on that score is it will be almost double my last salary! The scope is a bit different than my last position so I won't be able to post to the forum at work.

Yo, you still in the Seattle area. With your luck, they will send you up to Blaine to work!

Hey! That IS good news!

 

A joke! I kid because I care.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing!

good for you Dave !

Hope they let you wear your porno ties !!

Hope they let you wear your porno ties !!

 

You kidding! That's all Dave will be allowed to wear!!! Didn't he tell you he's the headline act at the new all male Seattle strip joint version of the Bada Bing!

Picture Dave dancin on poles, wearing nothing but that Wonder Woman tie...it boggles the mind and wrenches my gut all at the same time (cue in Crying Game theme song)...

 

 

! Congrats Dave - anything that gets you off the street has got to be good news!

[Darthdiesel]

but the good news on that score is it will be almost double my last salary!

 

Great! It is nice that you can find someone who'll pay you $5K a year.....

[Darthdiesel]

It's a contract position

 

Since when does McDonald's hire contractors! I guess you can outsource even janitorial services in this day and age! Love ya!

[delekkerste]

Congratulations! If you can pull that off in this kind of economy, more power to you. And the fact that it's a contract position might not be all bad - you can use all that extra filthy lucre you're making to buy some comics or take a trip or something whenever the contract finally runs out!

 

In related news, the unemployment rate here in New York is ridiculous...2 more of my friends were let go this week from their jobs. Anybody who tells you the economy is getting better is smoking crack. The Greenwich Village Halloween Parade last night was very sparsely attended compared to previous years and most people did not even bother to shell out $$$ for a costume - US consumer confidence is at a 9-year low and it shows.

 

As insane as they were, I miss the days of 2-3 years ago when everybody's cup runneth over!

CONGRATULATIONS from all of us at CGC!

[plitch]

Gee, Steve I guess that means Scottish is never gonna win the trivia contest, huh?

 

[scottish]

The good part about that is I can decline any position I don't want. They already asked me about Oak Harbor (about 1 1/2 hours away - for those that don't live in WA) and I said I'd rather pass on that one. I certainly wouldn't rule it out altogether, but I can be choosy right now.

[greggy]

They'll send you down to Vancouver, WA so you can do some noon time shopping in Portland!

[aardvark88]

I think there's 1 comicshop left in Oak Harbour. Would also be closer for u to take the ferry up to Victoria, Canada to scout for funny bks.

[scottish]

S'okay! You'll miss my informative and highly intelligent posts before long!

[scottish]

Thanks Chris!

[scottish]

Thanks Allan! Don't have to wear a tie!

[scottish]

Darth - I can't even find the words to respond!

[scottish]

Thanks Gene! I do consider myself very fortunate. I hope everyone that is having a job issue receives a bunch of my luck! I'm lucky in that my profession does pretty well when the economy goes south.

[scottish]

Thanks Steve!
