This is such exciting news!!! CONGRATULATIONS SARAH!!!
Thank you! (Also, thanks for the high five, puppy!)
#buyallthethings posts are my favorite!!
Aren't they the best? I love buying all the things ... (or, more realistically, watching everyone else buy all the things and being too cheap to buy them myself)
Why, oh why, did you post that stupid Garfield hoodie??? I just splurged on a new InB purchase and now you have to post that? ARGHHHH!!!!
I figured it was safe because not that many people here wear Raw Threads! It's not like I'm posting more InB things for people to buy ...
(But seriously, look at their whole Garfield collection. So many adorable designs. There's a "All this for a free banana" design. There might end up being multiple Garfield hoodie purchases, especially if I decide to wear them to work instead of for running.)
I also love that polka dot skirt and it would be adorable for the marathon.
Agreed ... that's why I bought it
My planned costume for the marathon will be Minnie Mouse (because it's Mickey's race and behind every great male mouse is an even greater female mouse), so this is the first step in that costume.
Congrats on the job and congrats on the money and congrats on spending the money soon.
Thank you!
PS This post made me happy.
Thank you! I'm happy that it made you happy
OK... Now that I have my meme out of the way... time for some more detailed comments
The meme is the most important part ... but I appreciate the detailed comments too
Sounds like a great opportunity- here's hoping you pass
(jk, you'll be fine!)
Thanks! I've never shoplifted from this particular retailer, so I think I'll be good. (I've actually never shoplifted at all ... I think)
This is what I do- not ideal, but I have learned to love my treadmill. Spring is coming... (I tell myself that all winter long and then always get hit BAD with spring allergies...)
I was doing treadmill for the last few weeks of school too ... I can tolerate it, but I prefer outdoors. Hopefully I'll learn to love it.
Always good to not work for free!
I completely believe that money does not buy happiness, but it definitely makes life a little easier! Excited that this will afford (get it?) you some fun traveling opportunities, including MARATHON WEEKEND!
Afford ... hahaha!!
I actually got an email a few weeks ago from a company who wanted me to work for free. They emailed me about an opportunity working for a startup for equity that would vest in one year ... aka no money until maybe a year from now if the company happens to be worth something and they want to buy me out.
No thank you. Money may not buy happiness, but it does buy the freedom to not have to worry about paying my credit card bill, which lowers my stress, which in turn contributes to happiness.
(This is actually a thing in the startup world - working for equity - it actually really works out if you end up working for a company that becomes huge because you get a ton of money on the IPO, but it's also a huge risk because the company could go under and you get nothing)
It will be an adjustment, but you'll find your groove in no time
Thanks - I hope you're right!
This makes me wonder... what kind of coffee will your new job have?? (I don't care for my office coffee.)
I actually don't know, but if the office coffee happens to be terrible, there's a Starbucks a block away. Also ... I can always make coffee at home and bring it in with me. Also, we're in the same building as Facebook (I think), so if my office coffee is terrible, maybe I can make a friend at Facebook and then steal their coffee and free snacks.
