[XemaSab]

1. Excellent!

:toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Thanks!

:toast:

[rockymountaindem]

2. Sounds grueling

Glad you made it through that minefield :toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. Either I was a really good employee...

...or they were really hurting.

[LeftyMom]

3. So how do you think you did?

;)

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. I think I did a'ight.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Ah-iggit, blah!

[name not needed]

53. the green ones make me horny!

[ghostsofgiants]

54. Haha, dammit, I miss that show.

[Magrittes Pipe]

59. Heh.

That's my messenger nick.

[terrya]

5. Those are the best kind of interviews!

One could go out on a limb and say congratulations, so thie one will.

Congratulations, Hedges! :-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. No shit!

Thanks, Terry. We look forward to seeing you soon!

[cassandra uprising]

6. Holy Crap! That's great news!!!

:bounce:

Yeah for you guys :party:

Not so much for the Beasties :evilfrown:

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. We'll miss them, too.

Hell, we'll miss ALL the Cleveland DUers we've gotten to know over the past few months. Cleveland DUers are some of the best people I've ever had the good fortune to know.

That said, we do still have tons of friends back in WI. While we'll miss our new friends terribly, at least we have other who can hold us and soften the blow.

All I know for sure is that just because we're out of town does NOT mean we won't be seeing each other. :)

[no name no slogan]

7. The Chachi WORKED

Congrats Hedges!!! So when do you move?

:toast: :thumbsup:

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. Thanks!

No idea when we move. Soon, though.

[Ron Mexico]

10. Which was the hardest question for you, and were you at any point

stuck between two or more answers? Or, perhaps, did you blank out at any point? ;)

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Well, he did ask if my old salary was acceptable.

Seeing as it's three times what I'm making now, I didn't hesitate long.

[Misunderestimator]

13. Excellent!!

:thumbsup: :rofl: Congratulations!!! :toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. Gracias, muchacha!

:party:

[jpgray]

15. I was hoping to find out what you thought your greatest weakness was

So I could crush you.

:D

Congrats! :party: My vibes paid off

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. Never!

Hahahahahahahaha! :evilgrin:

[DS1]

29. I HATE that question

How does "sporadic inability to prevent myself from slapping people who ask me that question" sound?

And way cool, Hedges, be sure to throw all of hobo_baggins' shit off your desk and into the trash

[jpgray]

52. Always answer "your eyes" if the interviewer is female

And you don't want the job.

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. Good work, hedges.

Like I said before, I'm sorry the Cleveland experiment didn't work out, but it sounds like you have a better thing going in Wisconsin. Best of luck to you all. :toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. Thanks, B.

It'll be a drag not seeing you and Cathyclysmic more often, but y'all are all the way out on the other side of town, anyway. ;)

[AirmensMom]

21. Good job!

:woohoo: :bounce: :party: :toast: :applause:

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. Danke schoen!

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

42. Bitte schoen!

[supernova]

22. Congratulations, Hedges!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you!

It's great when interviews are that easy. :D

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. My kind of interview!

Thanks!

[Call Me Wesley]

25. Good to hear!

:toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. Back atcha!

:toast:

[flamingyouth]

28. Excellent news, sir

This is very good indeed.

HAIL SATAN! :headbang:

[Magrittes Pipe]

34. Hail Satan.

Hail Satan, indeed. :)

[trof]

30. you slick talkin' silver tongued devil.

beautiful

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. I have a way of making people do what I want.

It's called "blackmail."

[Patiod]

31. I had one of those!

My old boss called and said the company was back on its feet, and asked if I wanted to come back -- I said "not right now".

A week later, the company I was working at got sold, and we had 2 weeks to clear out.

Called my old boss: "Phyllis, you know when you asked if I wanted to come back and I said 'not now?'. Well, how's Monday looking?"

We also had the following conversation at another time:
Me: "What should I put on my card as a title?"
Phyllis: "I don't know, what do you want to be?"
Me: "Beats me."
Phyllis: "How about Vice President"
Me: "That won't give me anything to shoot for. How about Project Director?"
Phyllis: "Okay"

[Magrittes Pipe]

37. Sweet!

I wanna work for Phyllis!

[eyesroll]

32. Why the hell would you want to come to Milwaukee?

It's snowy and cold and it reeks of beer puke and sausage and all we're really known for these days is a lackluster museum with unique architecture.

[Magrittes Pipe]

38. These are a few of my favorite things.

[swag]

33. Nice going, man.

[Magrittes Pipe]

39. What did I do?

All I did was say "yeah."

[swag]

49. For starters, you showed up.

Or called. Or they called.

[ThomCat]

35. That is SO awesome.

Congratulations!!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. It IS awesome.

And thank you.

[jane_pippin]

41. Congrats! Welcome back!

Have a beer on Gus. :toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

43. Yay! Gus!

:bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

44. Congratulations !!! Way Cool !!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

45. Booze and fireworks!

Just like my wedding night! :D

[In_The_Wind]

46. I hope you enjoy your new moves just as much!

I'm glad we met, if only briefly! :loveya:

[Magrittes Pipe]

47. It was a pleasure!

And, although my former place of employment could use some fixing (some bad managers -- not Gary Kucinich, who was great, but the others), I heartily endorse the Escape Hybrid. It's a good SUV*, AND it's environmentally friendly.



*That is, if you don't intend to tow anything. And your cargo doesn't weigh that much.

[greatauntoftriplets]

48. Congratulations!!!

:toast:

[Magrittes Pipe]

60. Grazi!

[GirlinContempt]

50. Woo!

[Bullwinkle925]

55. woohoo!!

congrats to the hedges family!

[Magrittes Pipe]

63. Thanks a bunch!

:hi:

[WCGreen]

56. Whewww... Now I'm off the hook for that Ford now.....

Way to go...

Cleveland's loss is Milwaukee's gain....

[Magrittes Pipe]

65. I'm sure some jerkwad will be calling you constantly now.

:(

[WCGreen]

81. I'll just tell him you were my homosexual fanatasy and that

I was stalking you...

And that if he want to take your place...

Well that's fine and dandy by me....

[TennesseeRain]

57. Are you SURE you got the job? It sounds a bit "iffy" to me.

:silly:

[Magrittes Pipe]

66. If this falls through, I guess I could go back to selling my body.

Although there's a lot of rough tricks on the West side.:scared:

[RandomKoolzip]

58. Nice one, guy. ANd hey:

How come youse never told me about the Lyme Disease? My mom has it too, and it ain't pretty.

Anyhow...congrats, sir.

[Magrittes Pipe]

67. I told everybody about the Lyme Disease. You were taking a break.

Yeah, I read about your mom in dolo's thread. That fuckin' sucks, I'm sorry to hear it. :(

Mine got caught a couple of weeks after infection -- mine was acute, not chronic. That said, I do have to pay attention. It could come back, and if so, I need to get it treated promptly so that it doesn't become a chronic thing.

Thanks for the big up, G.

[xmas74]

73. Congrats on the job!

And keep up w/ the Lyme Disease. My best friend's dad had it and it did come back. He ignored it and it wasn't pretty what happened next.
And I envy you going back home. I miss my home!

[KitchenWitch]

64. NIIIICE!

:woohoo:

[Magrittes Pipe]

68. THAAAANKS!

[Magrittes Pipe]

71. We're happy, too!

There won't be as much room in our new place, but we'll find a place for ya if you ever want to visit. :hug:

[johnnie]

70. Cool!

Sorry we didn't get to hang out more. I'm glad you got your job back and we will miss you and Dolo here. Maybe we can do one more before you guys split.

[Magrittes Pipe]

72. We'll definitely try to work something out!

We'll miss hanging out with you C-town lot, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

[XNASA]

74. You got your male exotic dancer gig back!!!!!!

w00t, w00t!!!!!!! :applause:

[Magrittes Pipe]

76. Just remember: there is no sex in the Champagne Room.

I don't want a repeat of last time you visited me at work.

[XNASA]

78. That's why you had to quit and move to Cleveland in the first place.

Sorry. Hopefully it's just water under the bridge now. :*

[BigMcLargehuge]

75. LOL!!!!!

I love interviews like that.

[Magrittes Pipe]

77. Don'tchoo be lockin' my thread, Willis.

[tigereye]

79. that's great!

Seriously. :toast: :woohoo:
