Got a job.
A bona fide New York City full-on professional engineering job.
Full-time.
Permanent.
And that's a relief.
All the hope, fears and worries - having a temporary permit to work, struggling to keep it going so that all of the jobs I had applied for at the beginning could still consider me if they wanted to...failing...
Getting that permit in February, working in Macy's...working in Dumbo, knowing that it wouldn't last...and now this.
There was a lot riding on my employment. Krissa and I were facing up to the fact that if I couldn't find a job in New York, we might have to move where the engineering jobs were more plentiful...there was talk of Schenectady, Texas...but now we get to stay in the city that we both love so much.
Excellent.
Let the games begin.
Fabulous - many congratulations, Stuart!
congrats! now if only i can do the same....
Such thrilling news! I'm beside myself for you guys.
I am so happy for you, Stuart. Well done and good luck embarking on your NYC career.
Congrats, Stuart. Let the real fun commence.
Oh, there's been real fun, all right. It's just now we can afford it.
YAY! I'm so happy for you Stuart!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! This is really fantastic.
Can't keep a good Engineer down. So what you gonna be engineering?
Congratulations Stuart! Fantastic that you get to leave the monkey jobs and associated stresses behind to do a job you (hopefully!) love, in the city you love, with the woman you love. Seems like you deserve it!
You go, fella! Knock 'em dead, tiger! Etc etc.
Many congratulations. I'm ecstatic with pleasure.
Congratulations!
Well played old bean.
Good show old bean.
Sorry - delete as appropriate.
Ah, presumably an engineer of the literary sciences. Ever the pioeer, Dr. Badgett.
Pioneer, even...
Woo and hoo!
Next you'll be being chased through the streets with holes in your teeth and flinging pistols into the lake in Central Park, just like a real New Yorker.
:-)
Hoorah! Well done Stuart :)
Congrats! That is awesome news. :) I assume now traveling back home will be much more possible, $$ wise. :) That's great.
Congrats! That's the best reason for cancelling the jobless union.
Oh yes, keep up the pioeering. How wonderful, I'm really pleased to hear it, at last!
When do you start?
woohoo! congratulations!
Congratulations! What a relief!
Very, very happy for you. Congrats!!!

I just emailed stuart.lastname@workaddress.com but got no reply.
I think he doesn't like me anymore.

Lynx? Leopard? Cheetah? Lion? Tiger?
Rrrraaaaawwwwwl (that's me growling)
Good stuff. Hope it's all you want it to be. Would like to know what you will engineering too.
Woo hoo! Congrats. Now you can enjoy happy hour on a whole new level again!
That's great news! Am so happy for you!
Thanks, everyone!
I had my first day today (interview yesterday afternoon, started this morning...welcome to America) followed by a rehearsal for our play...I'm exhausted, but happy.
The job is everything I could have hoped for.
Yes, well done, congratulations to you my favourite ex-pat bloke, whom I don't know and have never met! :)
Excellent! Congratulations.
Even excellent seems hardly powerful enough. Hooray!
