The best words ever....

"We'd like to make you an offer."

Just like the ones I heard on my voicemail today.

I'm going to be an official Art Director at Baker Street Partners (advertising) as of noon today, when I go sign the offer. Hopefully it can be signed in ink and not in blood, and my soul won't be requested as collateral. :)

The conversation with Corey was hilarious, I called back and said, "Hey Corey. It's Brenda returning your call. I received your voice message about the offer, so I guess it would be a good thing to call you in regards to the position."

Corey: "Yeah, when most people hear the words, 'make you an offer' they run away screaming."
Brenda: "Yep. I almost didn't call you back. Who wants to take an offer they can't refuse? That's so last year."
Corey: "Actually, it was an offer for you to turn US down, but we'll still have you if you want us."
Brenda: "You're going to be my new surrogates."
Corey: "L'Chaim!"

I swear, if every conversation at work is full of sarcasm and jokes like this, I'll fit in like.... uhhh... a hobo at a San Francisco bus station. At least I'm more popular than a porkchop in a rabbi's pocket. I'm stoked, happy, elated, excited and overwhelmed.

What a great step. An Art Director. Nothing more, nothing less. All he wants me to do is get paid to think.

HORRAY! I'm leaving early to celebrate. Chip should cut class to join me, but I'm not gonna suggest it. Just wishful thinking.

XXOO!!
