Bring Out the Dancing Girls -- I Got a Promotion!!!

[xraytheenforcer]

Tha's right, Penguin Lovers and Haters and Playas. Now I'm Senior Associate Editor, and they be givin' me MO MONEY.

Seriously, I've been feeling a bit down about my career, being marooned for years in the same position and unsure I was actually doing a good job. And so getting this promotion really helps the ol' self-esteem and also reinforces the idea that, yes, I did make an OK career move when I left research for publishing.

I'd drink myself stupid on champagne tonight, but I think I've had enough barfing for one week. :p

(and I can't but think that my killer David Lee Roth act had a large part in this development. Van Halen FTW!!)

What wonderful news!! Glad they're finally officially recognizing your work and worth for them.

(Really, they were just afraid if they didn't promote you, you'd go all Linda Blair on their asses, and then they'd be damned....)

I'm sure you thoroughly deserve it, you smart mofo, you.

I hope you'll be extravagant in some other way today, if you can't drink. Just postpone the drinking though, okay?

Penguin loves you, too. It's just "tough love."

I will try to make sure that my God of Career Opps speaks to yours very soon. :)

Many thanks. I hope the illness is out of your house!!

I will. Don't you worry.

You will pwn similarly on your test tomorrow. It is known.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

And may my luck extend to your interview!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Linda Blair in the boardroom. That would be awesome. I look forward to seeing you at Boskone.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Thankee. But it ain't anything like making the Dean's List. :) Again congrats for triumphing in a semester of hell.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Pour one on the ground for the nerd who can't be around? Heh.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Thank you! and much good thoughts to you and all the changes (heh) you have going on!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Hopefully one of those "returns" will involve me getting my ass down to Philly soon. I need me a cheesesteak.

Extravagent in our Jayne Cobb viewing, perhaps. ;-)

Have a great weekend with fine ale and Herr Bauer.
