A Bright New Day

Uh dude that sounds like a suicide note. Thanking and wishing everone the best.

If you do commit hairy carey can I have your cd player?

hmm: note to self finish reading before posting.

Congrats on the new job. But just say you find the spastics unbearable can I still have your CD player.

Please DO NOT think that all Aussies are as shallow as the horses meep above. Congratulations on the new career and I truly hope that you will find it as rewarding ( and not as difficult ) as raising your children . Good luck to you and yours ( you've earned it).
Top Xmas present Man!

Money is good. Money not made on your back or knees is even better.

I suppose you would know.

Thanks guys. You too, qwerty.

Congrats Ragoo.

congrats, indeed. that first job after being laid off always feels like a breath of fresh air.

That is most excellent. Congrats to you, Ragoo.

Congrats Ragoo. I'm curious about how the whole consulting thing works out, as I'm sick of my new job already and was considering launching a consulting venture. Any suggestions on where to start looking for info?

Best of luck, Stump. In my case I approached the independant physicians thoughout the area, selling them on the idea that their practices could benefit from a little coordinated marketing and PR. I also had contacts at the hospitals that were formerly my competitors. They were happy to pick my brain (for a price, of course). Hehehe.

The immediate downside of consulting, of course, is that you always HAVE TO BE ON. The cash you bring in is directly proportional to the effort you lay out. Plus there are no benefits. Lacking health insurance really sux0rs. Taxes are also a meep, since the IRS takes a big sloppy 15% bite out of your meep as a consultant.

But the freedom, the control, has an allure all its own. Go for it! Network and look for that next big opportunity. Good luck man!

Congrats Ragoo, and good luck.

It will be a merry christmas after all. I hope you have great success at yer new position.

Congrats Ragoo! Enjoy!

It's always cool to have a job where you actually make a difference.

Good Luck, Dude. I hope everthing works out for you job-wise. Sounds like you have everything else covered. : )

I guess juicy acting roles kinda dried up after Laverne and Shirley went off the air? Oh well. good luck.

I heart you guys.
Does that make me meep?

yes

Now you put teh sign down and quit tellin lies to teh public.

Congratulations, and don't forget the part about you owing me your soul after death. Cheers!

Well how is the job going and when you gonna repay that money I lent you.
