I love my job.

There are only 3 of us so I don´t have to deal with those "someone has a case of the monday's" types.

I watch movies and listen to music all day.

I can come in and leave whenever I want. Hell, last week my goal was to make it to work all 5 days. That was my first 5-day week in a while.

I'm being sent to Italy one day of work and one week of play in two days.

Good job.

It's not what I'd ultimately like to do, but for right now, I'll take it.

I sunbathed on Sunday.

I'm having a hard time adjusting to loving my job.

My job rocks, because I fell asleep in a meeting and had to be woken up by the CEO, who instead of firing my narcoleptic ass on the spot decided to just have a good chuckle.

I've actually been using it as a running joke. I gave a presentation during the following week's meeting and said it probably wasn't a good idea for me to voluntarily dim the lights, which got a big laugh. I also brought in a ginormous can of Monster Energy drink ("The Assault") to a subsequent meeting.

Actually, I didn't really ever fall asleep as much as bob my head and blink my eyes a couple of times trying to stave off drowsiness, but I still love the fact that I work somewhere that appreciates what I actually do contribute (at least when my eyes are open) as opposed to all those other places I've worked that were all more interested in keeping me down. And I never even fell asleep at any of those places!

Oh, here's some of the other great stuff about working at this place:

1. They gave me a 20% base salary increase over my previous job.
2. They gave me a Treo 650 SmartPhone/PDA with Palm OS.
3. They give us an annual company Christmas party at a fancy hotel with all food and booze on the house.
4. They gave me a brand-new DVD burner with laser engraving capabilities (for "training videos," of course).
5. They just built a brand-new office building at less than half the commute from my previous job.
6. They gave me a brand-new Dell Latitude D610 laptop with 100 GB hard drive, Centrino and docking station.
7. I'm on a first-name basis with the entire executive team, including the CEO (with whom I meet weekly).
8. I've been invited to multiple happy hours at a nearby bar with tabs for all picked up by the CEO.
9. They equipped this new building with a 33-seat state-of-the-art training lab wired for surround sound with a high-def DLP projector and all brand-new Dell PCs and glass-top desks containing flat-panel monitors underneath.
10. They gave me the full 10% for my first quarterly bonus, even though I only officially qualified for 5%, because my boss runs HR and figures she can call an audible if she damn well pleases.
11. Apparently, there is no way I can be Squirrgled from this gig.

And to think, I never even so much as APPLIED for this job. It was just a totally out-of-the-blue phone call from someone who saw my half-assed resume on Monster.com.

Good times...

np: Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Riviera Paradise"

:rawk:

The CEO interface is huuuuge. I'm hoping for the same when my new gig starts in three weeks. My current Veep hasn't said a single word to me since I gave my notice last week.
