Posted by: Oliquig at September 23, 2004 03:16 PMOoh, new job. Congratulations!
Posted by: Fraulein N at September 23, 2004 03:26 PMWay to go on the new job. I'm disappointed you past on the quickie. Congratulations!

Can I have the old one? I really don't care for mine.
Posted by: Kenn at September 23, 2004 03:40 PMYay, 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..
Posted by: Belgian waffle at September 23, 2004 03:54 PMQuestion: If you were offered the quickie in some other place besides the supply closet, would you have taken it?
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Posted by: bmh at September 23, 2004 04:26 PMCongrats 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
Posted by: Jazzy at September 23, 2004 05:54 PMA quicky in the supply cabinet...tough one to turn down. But congrats on the new job!!
Posted by: Hudson at September 23, 2004 06:43 PMAw, Zoot stole my joke. Congrats on the new job!
Posted by: keepergirl at September 23, 2004 07:00 PMCongratulations!
Posted by: Lauren/New Jan Brady at September 23, 2004 08:09 PMThis might just be me, but, I would have taken the quickie over everything else....
Posted by: Jade at September 23, 2004 08:21 PMSmart 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 at September 23, 2004 08:35 PMcookies, towels, kidney beans AND a new job... stop toying with our emotions!
(congrats btw)
Posted by: monique at September 23, 2004 08:50 PMYou got a new job WITHOUT the quickie in the closet? Man. You gotta teach me what you do.
heh
Posted by: angie at September 23, 2004 09:17 PMcongrats 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 at September 23, 2004 09:36 PMCONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW JOB!!!!! (And so proud you didn't need the quickie in the closet to get the job!)

Posted by: Manda at September 23, 2004 11:59 PMWhat exactly does it mean to accept the finger?
Posted by: DeAnn at September 24, 2004 05:12 AMHuzzah! (which we don't really say here in New Zealand)

Posted by: Kristi at September 24, 2004 09:35 AMYay! Congratulations on the new job. And the peanut butter cookies.
Posted by: bad penguin at September 24, 2004 09:53 AMI 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 at September 24, 2004 10:59 AMCongratulations!! WHo offered that quickie, anyway and when do you start!?
Posted by: Jenny at September 24, 2004 11:44 AMHOORAY on the job offer! Good for you!
But extra kidney beans? I love them but extra?
Posted by: doulazanie at September 24, 2004 11:45 AMAbsolutely brilliant blog, Beth! I plan to stop by more often.Cheers.
Posted by: Paulette at September 24, 2004 12:35 PMQuestions:
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 at September 24, 2004 12:41 PMCongrats 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 at September 24, 2004 03:00 PMsorry 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.
yay for the new job!
