I’m SIRIUS!

Yay for me!  For all the chatter about Satellite Radio…  I didn’t have to spend money afterall!  I got home today and my hubby had all wrapped up my new Sirius Sportster and boombox as a reward for the new job.  See that right there is why he’s the best husband in the world….

Guess What! (again!)

That’s right Internet.  I GOT THE JOB!  I got the coolest job AND a huge crazy amount of money.  I just can’t even believe it.  Of all those qualified, experienced people I got the job. 

Now that I actually have the job, I’m feeling sad about my old job.  I really do love the people I work with (for the most part) and the job is never boring (to the point of being unbearable).  But when I told my manager about my new, great opportunity he basically lost it and told me that he was going to sabatoge my going to the new group by making a case for not being able to keep up with work without me.  Isn’t that vile?  He was totally awful about it.  The job is mine, but this jerk may keep me in my old job (at the old pay) for 90 days.  Makes me so certain that I’m making the right decision. 

And….  the MONEY!  *sigh*  I’m going to splurge and spend the extra $12.95/month and get satelite radio.  You have no idea what a big deal that is for me.  I love my money.  But every morning I drive to work and I see that green glow from on top of other drivers’ dashboards and I’m sure I’m the only person in the world sitting in traffic without satelite.  And Howard.  And Maxim channel.  And THREE NPR STATIONS.  So I’m going to bite the bullet and join the land of no commercials.  

Oh, and my diet goes much better when I have nothing to celebrate.  I met my brother for a celebratory drink at Hooters instead of going to the gym.    Then I ditched the 1500 calories thing and joined Bec and her hubby for pizza and wine at Sauce.  mmmm.  Oh the guilt…  I’ll be back on it tomorrow…. with the exception of that wedding with the open bar we’re going to…. Diets suck. 

I hope you’re all having equally crazy wonderful days!
