Wow, They Love Me


The first day at the new gig rocked. Ways this is already way better than the last job: no concussion!

Trust me, leaving the building intact is a major improvement.

And being introduced to your department amid hootin', hollerin', AND applause will stroke any ego. It was actually a bit embarrassing. I've now become the benchmark to which all new applicants must be measured against.

One of these days they're going to see through my façade. But that day was not today.

Today was a good day.

PS: a big thank you and much love to everyone who made it out to our party Saturday night. You are my heroes.

congrats, ex. it's always nice to make a splash and be the gold standard. i had a similar experience a month ago with my new job. relish the moment, cuz even when you're as cool as me, you're still just another pretty face in the crowd after a while. fortunately for us, the rest of the crowd is quite fugly.

Glad the first day at the new job went well. I'm always nervous as hell. Hope the rest of the week goes just as well. I'm off to get coffee.

Will you still talk to us now that you're the cool new girl?

(Glad to hear the day went so well!)

JY: the gold standard. Nice. I have to use that more often.

Lil Bit: how was the coffee?

Lil Bit: how was the coffee?

Exile: there is, indeed, always tomorrow.

H. Wood: especially young, hot, ambitious ones!

Sandra: I'm nowhere near as cool without you guys!

Hoorah!! :) The first day is always the hardest... always taken me weeks to make up for it.

The coffee was good and I have some more now :)

Jeen Yes said...

i cheese sandwich you, ex.

DNS: the first day was cake. It was the 4th day that kicked my ass.

Princess: mmm, coffee. I'm back on that train now too. :)

JY: that would have been more believable if it was delivered by a midget with a drum. But nice try, honey.

Jeen Yes said...

thank god you got that. in fact, i just wrote about it after seeing it for the 2nd time. think of how that would've sounded in a deniro impersonation.

Ghetto Photo Girl said...

Were you honestly afraid I wouldn't get it? Just because you can't buy any cool sex toys, doesn't mean I live under a rock.

If you get that line of logic, you'll earn that blogroll you've been begging for.

Jeen Yes said...

you'd be surprised how many people allowed it slip under their collective radars. btw, how long did it take you to put all those dildos back on the shelf?

Ghetto Photo Girl said...

Oh wow, I forgot all about that scene. How come I never meet the hot young actors in sex shops?

But you still didn't answer my challenge.

Jeen Yes said...

how often are you in sex shops? and how many santoros could there possibly be? and i won't be answering the challenge because, alas, the jeen has been stumped....temporarily.

I love winning.
