Default What a great day

So it's my birthday, and it's off to a great start. I woke up this morning to a letter in the mail from my mother, with a 50 dollar walmart gift certificate in it. On it's face value, this doesn't seem like alot, but I've been so broke for the last week that 50 bucks is perfect timing. Then, my roommate tells me there's a message on the phone for me. A job I interviewed for last week called me back and offered me the position.

It's a well paid tech support job for a web hosting company. Talked to a few people that work there and apparently it's the most relaxed and casual spot they've ever worked, lots of benefits, not to mention the fact that I'm going to be paid a premium above the great pay because I'm bilingual.

I can only hope the rest of the day goes this well. Going to visit my son around supper time, then when I get home, I have Vodka in the freezer already. Happy friggin older day to me!

Shouldn't you be at work, like, defending the country or something?

He gets all the major holidays off, so really, if anybody wanted to invade, they'd just have to wait for Canada day. Ironic no?

It's Opening Day here in Cincinnati, to boot. Doesn't mean much to most people, but around here, it's a fucking major holiday. People skip work and school for it, and it's a rare case if that absence isn't excused.
