notes from the commute, in which I get news, on the train

sreditor

K's been working at one particular gig since before Christmas.

the hand shake

He's been discussing a staff position with this company for nearly two years.

HR

Offers have been made during this time...

staff

and benefits discussed...and then, things changed and the economy got worse and we had hard times and easier times and time passed.
But now, it's final. He's in.

stop

He deserves it and I'm so proud and excited and happy, for us. For him.

Of course,

late

some things never change.

Chiming in late to say that I'm extra happy for all of you. I might have to pick up a decent bottle of wine too, in your honor, to help celebrate.
