It's official. They made me an offer. I'm goin' to Boston, folks.


I'll have a frightening level of responsibility/autonomy, I'll be working with people I respect the hell out of, I'll finally be paid appropriately for what I do, and I'll be close to Ayah. That's pretty much all a boy could ask for.

If I weren't so poor (and I mean fucking POOR) I'd celebrate.

Go to Busty's house. announce your intentions to either A) Get Drunk, or B ) Piss on his floor.

If you were my size, he would feed you drinks. (Though he may just put you in his pocket and tell you to shut up)

CONGRATS, BROTHER!!

Does your wife know you'll be working in Boston?

Edit: or are you gonna commute on your hog?

I had forgotten about what was actually ON the image that got me canned... wow.


As for the wife's store, she opens Monday, and she hired our very own Fickerson, by the way. I had nothing to do with it - she interviewed and both the wife and her store mgr loved her. They're neck-deep in inventory, stocking shit, setting up point of sale computers, etc as we speak.


thanks all.

It was her idea, after she met the director of my department and found out about the company. These guys are nothing short of amazing to work for. I couldn't find too many people in their league if I looked in every major city, much less here in Madison. This is far and away the best opportunity I'm gonna find - and I was damn lucky to find it at that. I'll be traveling home every 3 or 4 weeks, and she'll be uberbusy in the store. This will last for a few years, no doubt, and then something will change.

We're both stoked.

Awesome about Fick, but does this mean there will be a gulf between TEH CAP'N and FIRST MATE? Is she eventually going to open a Boston store?

Nice work, brother. I knew for sure you'd pull through just fine.


Just wait till you get yourself balls deep in a bag of money. Nothing like it.

Let me get this straight. You are working in Boston and your wife has a new store in Madison? Is there a thread about this that I missed? Link me if I did.

I smell no kids in your future and a divorce. Not being together, and both of you being busy with new jobs and a sense of responsibility and to not F*** things up will only make you guys grow apart instead of together. That's my Dr. Phil 2 cents worth and it could be totally not applicable in your condition.

Damn... how do you react to bad news?


Congrats! Getting the job you really wanted is a sweet, sweet feeling.
