For those of you that may remember, I have been in the wonderful world of temping for some time now. This morning, I received a REAL JOB OFFER from the company I have been with, not only that, but it is in my field. I am now a Marketing Coordinator. YAY Me!!

Congrats **Poysyn**.

Congratulations, Poysyn!

Weren’t you the one asking for party ideas (or some such) a while back? Guess it must have worked out.

Now go in and ask for a raise! 😃

Seriously, I’m very happy for you! (I hated temping myself)
