Shoutout! November 13, 2006 12:37 AM Subscribe
I hope this is the right place to do it... I just would like to give a great big shout-out to everyone who took time to answer my newspaper job interview and tryout questions.
I'm hired!!!
You all rock, but CunningLinguist, croutonsupafreak, frogan, M.C. Lo-Carb! and game warden to the events rhino rock lots.
Thank-you.
And thanks Mr Haughey for making a place where, within minutes, people who had the exact answers I needed were chipping in advice, reassurance and perspective from all over the world. That's pretty damn amazing. You rock too.

Congrats!
We should also thank Job, for not suing the hell out of the English-language employment machine for diluting the crap out of his trademark.

Yes, congratulations!
And remember, you (like me) now belong to the second-most hated profession after estate agents (according to UK surveys I swear I remember reading a while back). Cherish it!

Nicely done. I get the feeling you'll do well in this business.
Just try to make sure you don't end up here, or here.

according to UK surveys
Your country needs more lawyers and used car salesmen. We could spare a few hundred thousand if you'd like. You could move them all to Slough.

You mean I actually helped someone? And I'm being thanked for it? I'm usually pegged as the whacko libertarian curmudgeon around here.
/me blushes a little
Congrats, mate. Don't let us down.

Oh, my condolences. Your new bosses are harsh! Even a sewer board meeting is better than a parade.
