The One Where My Daughter Helps Me To Make A Fantastic First Impression At My New Job

First of all, you read that right…new job! As I mentioned before, I had two great opportunties to choose from and I spent most of the day yesterday making myself physically ill trying to decide. One involved a really nice amount of money, the other, while not quite as lucrative, offered me the chance to stop flying around every week and spend some time with my family and work with some seriously amazing people. In short, it offered me happiness.

I chose happiness.

This morning I got up with a song in my heart (I think it was Kanye) and a spring in my step and proceeded to sign the offer letter they had so professionally put together. I made sure my signature didn’t look like the normal chicken scrawl it normally does. I even typed out a fax cover sheet instead of just jamming it in and pressing send without one like I would usually do. I made sure I looked good on paper when they received my acceptance.

Yeah, about that….

The one thing I didn’t do was check the copier area of my fax machine because why would I? I live an almost paper free existence and couldn’t tell you the last time I actually copied anything.

What I didn’t count on is that a budding young artist in our household, known to all of you as Miss G, had drawn a picture so pretty she felt a need to make duplicate images for her friends.

So now my new employers not only have a neatly executed offer letter from me, they also have some really great art for their cubicles.

I’m awesome at sharing like that.

As if this week could get any better, I’m off to Blissdom tomorrow to see my new boyfriend Harry Connick, Jr. It’s okay, The Man knows all about my plans to woo Harry and has even agreed to participate in a Wife Swap if things work out. Updates to come shortly on any possible restraining order activity that may occur while I’m there!
