I HAVE A PERMANENT JOB!!!

Yup, I got the news when I went in today...had that meet with my mgr, and he was, like, "O,BTW..." HR will make it official next week. The upside: I will know where my income is coming in from, and I'll have benefits like paid days off and insurance. The downside: A $1 an hour paycut. (WTF?! All I can say is, for $160 a month, those benefits better be out-fucking-standing.) 

I put the cherry on that triumph by placing a $1500 order for some old gal (I'm being ironic; she's less than a decade older than I am---she told me so.) who bought TWO LeSnobbi bags. ($695 apiece, plus tax and shipping---that's more than my last three cars cost---put together.) I got her life story and a lot of philosophy---I'm pretty sure she was snockered---in between my southern-fried Jeeves routine, "Yes, ma'am, that's a wonderful bag. A lovely choice, ma'am. And which credit card will you be using today, ma'am?"

Damn, I'm happy!

Congratulations!!!

Too bad about the pay cut (that's kinda weird--pay the seasonal help more than your full-timers), but if the health and dental insurance are decent, then it may help soften the blow a bit.

What kind of bag costs $695? Are we talking about handbags, luggage, cargo carriers for your Ferrari, what?

I've had my fingers and toes and everything else crossed for you. I'm so glad to hear that!!!! Horray for knowing where your next meal is coming from.

*does the happy twirly Vanilla got a permanent job dance*

YAY!

According to my manager, the difference is, seasonal people don't get the benefits. *sigh* Like I said, they'd better be REALLY good bennies at that price, because I'm rarely ill.

And we're talking yupscale ladies handbags, here. I personally wouldn't have most of that shit if you gave it to me, let alone pay that kind of money for it. It's more than I take home in a month!

Thank you, thank you! The mojo is much appreciated. *dances with you*

It's not so much where the meals were coming from---I like my food too much to starve---but things like utilities, taxes and my internet connection are every bit as vital.

Now I just have to figure out how to fit in time to write, cuz that's really suffering....

Yes! And thank God, I can now uncross my fingers. It's been hell trying to type like this. :)

Seriously, I am so happy for you, hon. Way to go!

Congratulations, Fluffy! That's the best news I've read today!

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* Thanks so much for being there---it's been a rocky road. (Hey, good idea---virtual ice cream for everyone! My treat!)

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it put a smile on my face, too. Thanks!

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. This whole business has really showed me who my friends are---and I'm glad you're one of them.

[teresa-c.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is wonderful news! Congratulations!

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! It's a HUGE weight off my mind. Now I can start making plans. (Another car, to name the biggest thing....)

Karaokegal breaks into song for you: "Shout hallelujah, hallelujah and you'll shoo the blues away. When fears pursue ya, hallelujah gets you through the darkest day. Satan, lies awaiting, and creating skies of gray. But hallelujah, hallelujah, helps to shoo the clouds away."

Great news, honey. A round of redvines for the house.

*shares virtual chocolate* Thanks! This is huge...I'm just hoping I don't fall apart when the rainy season gets here in a few months. That's liable to make the commute a total nightmare. (Driving 22 miles at midnight when it's raining fish is NOT my idea of fun!)
