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?

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.
