EMPLOYED!

I'm trying to get 5 hours of work done in the next 3 hours, but I had to post this immediately -- the Director called JP ten minutes ago and told him he had the job!!! It's officially official. He has a salary and a title and a business unit and a desk that is not in our study and oh my god you guys I started crying while he was listening on the phone with the world's biggest smile on his face. It's a real, MBA-level job!

The next step will be for both of us to freak the frack out about how much this is going to change our life and our balance and everything else. Two full-time working parents, and one with a new commute that is quite different from his current "I'll just jog over to the pool for my next lesson" routine, but for right this second I'm just going to be very, very happy for him. And I'm going to get back to work with a giant grin on my face that is completely at odds with the serious letter I am drafting to opposing counsel describing our myriad of disputes and grievances with them. I'm going to have to re-work it tomorrow, I'm too happy to be as indignant as I should be. After six months of applications and rejections and more applications, my husband has a job!!
