Yay!...so did they go for the big buckets of money or the really big buckets of money???

(were the kidney beans that good?)

Posted by Casey | September 23, 2004 2:55 PM

congratulations on the job! have you told your not-so-pretend-non-celebrity-boyfriend/stalker yet?

Posted by Granola Spice | September 23, 2004 2:59 PM

Did you go for the large towel or the small one?

Posted by Mir | September 23, 2004 3:13 PM

Woo-Hoo, peanut butter cookies! Yum!

Congrats!

(on the new job too, although its not as good as peanut butter cookies!)

Ooh, new job. Congratulations!

Posted by Fraulein N | September 23, 2004 3:26 PM

Way to go on the new job. I'm disappointed you past on the quickie. Congratulations!

Posted by Frank | September 23, 2004 3:36 PM

Yay new jobbie-job!

Can I have the old one? I really don't care for mine.

Posted by Kenn | September 23, 2004 3:40 PM

Yay, congrats on job. Sorry I missed the weirdness post but I feel it's too late to post my weirdnesses now, you'd just think I was odd..

Question: If you were offered the quickie in some other place besides the supply closet, would you have taken it?

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congrats on the new job. Now I am pondering what I was offered today. Not much, but I am not home yet and I am sure the quickie "anywhere" will be offered as soon as I walk in the door. wink wink

A quicky in the supply cabinet...tough one to turn down. But congrats on the new job!!

Posted by Hudson | September 23, 2004 6:43 PM

Aw, Zoot stole my joke. Congrats on the new job!

Posted by keepergirl | September 23, 2004 7:00 PM

Congratulations!

Posted by Lauren/New Jan Brady | September 23, 2004 8:09 PM

This might just be me, but, I would have taken the quickie over everything else....

Posted by Jade | September 23, 2004 8:21 PM

Smart move. Now that you've got the job, you can check out the company supply closet to determine if it's adequate for the quickie.

Posted by Karen | September 23, 2004 8:35 PM

cookies, towels, kidney beans AND a new job... stop toying with our emotions!

(congrats btw)

Posted by monique | September 23, 2004 8:50 PM

You got a new job WITHOUT the quickie in the closet? Man. You gotta teach me what you do.

heh

Posted by angie | September 23, 2004 9:17 PM

congrats on the new job ... w00t

I would have turned down the quickie in the supply closet too. I tried it once but ended up out for weeks on workman's comp from an incident involving my ass and a stapler. It wasn't pretty.

Posted by LOUP | September 23, 2004 9:36 PM

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW JOB!!!!! (And so proud you didn't need the quickie in the closet to get the job!)

Posted by Krush | September 23, 2004 11:11 PM

Posted by Manda | September 23, 2004 11:59 PM

What exactly does it mean to accept the finger?

Posted by DeAnn | September 24, 2004 5:12 AM

Posted by Kristi | September 24, 2004 9:35 AM

Yay! Congratulations on the new job. And the peanut butter cookies.

Posted by bad penguin | September 24, 2004 9:53 AM

I think I would pee my pants if I got 28 comments on my site. Speaking of which...I'd pee my pants if I got 5 comments on one post on my site.

(congrats on the new job)

Posted by Amy | September 24, 2004 10:59 AM

Congratulations!! WHo offered that quickie, anyway and when do you start!?

Posted by Jenny | September 24, 2004 11:44 AM

HOORAY on the job offer! Good for you!

But extra kidney beans? I love them but extra?

Posted by doulazanie | September 24, 2004 11:45 AM

Absolutely brilliant blog, Beth! I plan to stop by more often.Cheers.

Posted by Paulette | September 24, 2004 12:35 PM

Questions:
1. How many kidney beans did you have already?

2. What did you do with the finger?

3. A quick what?

4. Wasn't the added bonus work you already had enough that you needed extra?

5. So which did you take?

6. Did they come with the kidney beans?

7. Was the new employer specified or did they leave that up to you?

Posted by Jon in Michigan | September 24, 2004 12:41 PM

Congrats on the job, chica! Do you get money and a new office? Or just money? Also? Were the peanut butter cookies made with chunky or smooth peanut butter? I don't really like them when they are made with chunky. Its a texture thing.

Maybe, if and when you get your own office, you can rain check that quicky for in there instead. Just a thought.

Posted by myllissa | September 24, 2004 3:00 PM

sorry I am so late coming to the game here! HOORAY BETH! YOU ROCK! and for god's sake, no more broken fax machine moments, right?
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES? add a Hershey's Kiss and you've got Heaven, pure, unadultered Heaven.

Posted by Dawn | September 26, 2004 10:04 PM

Whoops! Congrats by the way :-) On all the above, except the turn down on the quickie.....any regrets?!

Posted by Dawn | September 26, 2004 10:05 PM

Congrats on ALL the offers! It is good to be offered...even if you have to turn things down like the quickie...A new job! Did you take it? And did you offer the finger back?

Posted by Gypsy | September 26, 2004 11:01 PM
