    Congratulations!


    But those people you are replacing are striking for a reason!

    It is this that I must truly congratulate you on. There is just so much right with this statement.

    Congratulations! I was lucky enough to get into a "real" job nearly two years ago, after just as much time since getting my degree looking for one. It does feel good.

    Of course, I have likely layoffs to look forward to next year, but in the meantime it's nice.

    Good one. I'm gonna use that sometime, and not give you credit. 'Cause that's how I roll, yo.

    It's actually a full-time copywriting gig, with some other duties thrown in, at a very successful multimedia firm in Chi-town. I get to telecommute, which means I can continue to raise my little lemurs by hand. It's the right job in the right field under the right conditions, which goes a long way toward explaining why I think it's a huge improvement. And the extra money doesn't make me sad neither.

    Disappointing.

    I thought you worked for the Man; God.

    So you insert © symbols into documents? If that is a good paying job, sign me up!

    Anyway, congratulations Lemur. It is nice when all the cards fall into place.

    You have no idea the level of skill, training and commitment required to insert the © after product names. It takes YEARS of dedication. Himalayan monasteries are involved. Most of us are selected as children and given to the priesthood.

    In reality, I do a lot of financial, medical and technological copywriting. Here's some of my work -- all of the banners and repeating text are mine.
