The Crimson Permanent Assurance!!
(Category: True Stories )

I am working for a new company as of yesterday. Sorry I didn't tell anybody but I didn't know about it until the company meeting a couple of minutes ago.

As of yesterday the company I work for was acquired by a multinational. This is exciting in many ways. Primarily it is exciting because this same multinational has acquired two of our biggest rivals in the past 5 months. The three of us together now form the largest business unit for distribution management in the world. A business unit with a projected revenue of $100 million this year.

I won't really know until tomorrow but it is looking very good that my job has been saved.

Can I get a WHOOP-WHOOP!!!!

It is from the first act of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

Whoop Whoop! So, how was the cigar you smoked in celebration?

I am so pleased for you and on the edge of my chair awaiting news as to the success!

But no way in hell am I whoop-whooping. Dignity and all that.

I think that's the best news I've seen in the last 24 hours. I am seriously pleased for you.

Make sure to tell the kids you won't have to sell one of them to feed the others but don't tell them which one you were planning to sell. That would just make that one feel bad.

Thanks, y'all. I've got some butterfies going now. I find out in about 3 hours.

Tiger - No cigar for me. Not until March 15 next year. ;-)

tommy got the point for the title reference. Sidebar is already updated. How's that for efficient?

Congrats Jim - I'm really REALLY happy to hear that the job situation is looking better. It's weird how the world works sometimes. If you'd have hesitated on the house 2 months ago, who knows where you'd be now...

I can't be the first, but I skipped past all of the comments because I own the freakin' special edition DVD of the movie: "The Meaning of Life".
