Things are looking up

Looks like I've got a handle on a new gig - just waiting on the details of when and the finalized paperwork. Plus the additional nifty fun of the piss test, the background check and whatever the hell else they're doing this time around. Fingers crossed that nothing happens to make it go boom in bad ways.

And just because it's terribly cool - http://www.whereiwrite.org/delany.php
Thanks to thadeus, who also coined yesterday's excellent new "original title" for The Mammoth Book of Mindblowing SF - see comments in previous post.

And yay for new Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor. :-)

Crossing of fingers here. I *like* when my friends are gainfully employed.

Your friends share that sentiment. :-D

PISS TEST?!?!?

Oh, employment is a crime against humanity.

Oh, piss test, background check and if I'm really lucky, a credit check as well. :-((( Good thing my arrest record was all misdemeanors, that's all I can say.

The last time an interviewer mentioned a piss test I asked:
"Is it for distance?" He he.

Good luck on the gig!

Thanks!

Here's hoping you pass the piss test. :)
Sheesh. (If my employer of many years ever tests me that way, I'm sure they will find too much caffeine in my piss - an occupational hazard.)
And yes, yay for Judge Sotomayor! Even though we don't live in the U.S., there is jubilation in my house over this.

No real danger of failing - I'm allergic to anything that might be a problem. :-)
