Yes, after months of slugging away with temp work, waitressing and my “seemingly” useless public relations/marketing diploma, I have a tentative offer. Praise be!

That is true, I’ll have to change coffee breaks to SDMB breaks.

Congrats, eh! If this is your first “real” job, then enjoy it. I remember when I got my first job offer – I was temping, too, and got called in one Friday afternoon to talk to the supervisor. I thought she was going to thank me for my work there and say that I wasn’t needed the next week, but instead she offered me a job.

It turned out to be a shitty job and I was glad to leave it after nine months, but at the time, I was a very happy little teemer.

Go tear that evil boyfriend off the computer and make him take you out to dinner. Or, if he won’t, I will. 😃

Poysyn,

Congratulations, and best of luck to you.

Perhaps I’ve missed something, but what exactly is it that you are going to do?
