An Unofficial Party ON!

Becky (unofficially) got the job! We're both excited, happy, and confused. And suspicious. Because nice things are hard to come by. The official offer is supposed to roll in early next week.

It's like the house-hunt back in August. It all turned out fine, it was just hell while it was going on. All you can do when you know someone going through waiting-game bullshit is say "it's ok, it's going to be fine" and, you know, buy them drinks. (Hint, hint.) But no one can really tell if it's actually going to be ok, going to work out, etc. And, after a while, keeping one's chin up gets really tiring.

Anyway, it's pretty great. Becky will have health insurance. We'll be able to afford the occasional burger. A parade will ensue, featuring retired astronauts.

P.S. This is all thanks to Elizabeth, who alerted us and put in a good word. Now, we now have no purpose except to die in battle on her behalf.

Hooray!! That's really great news! Congrats to both of you :-) Let's celebrate this weekend!

It's like my friends told me during the grad school crapplication process: If you get in, celebratory drink. If you don't, sympathy drink. Either way, we're drinkin!

I'm glad it's a celebration drink though :-)
