strangetomatoDid you know that today is Delurking Day out there in the blogosphere?
That's right. So, let this be an invitation to anyone who'd like to introduce themselves and say hi. You know I'd love to hear from you. No pressure, of course, but you may as well delurk on Delurking Day, right? Come one, come all. Get a conversation started. I'm all ears.
This was a great day for me. I made some real progress on the next update, and there was RL good news all over the place. I was asked to interview for a job that had over 50 applicants and was pleasantly surprised to be offered another job that will stretch my experience significantly. I was also asked to be a bridesmaid in my "brother"s wedding this summer (actually a cousin, but we grew up together like siblings). I'd fully expect to win the lottery too, but I don't actually ever buy tickets.
Now, I should go out there and delurk too, shouldn't I?

Date: 2009-01-14 03:40 am (UTC)I caught up on your story some time ago but have failed to comment because a) I'm a natural lurker and b) I don't have an lj account so it seemed weird. Needless to say, you and your story are awesome.
I've really been wanting to share this anecdote and Delurking Day seems to have given me the courage! I was doing a crossword puzzle sometime ago and a 4 letter word had the clue: J-O connection. I immediately screamed RIPP! in my head (luckily not out loud as I was on break at my new job). Unfortunately the writer of the crossword puzzle was lame and the answer was KLMN, but at least it made my night!
Can't wait for whenever you feel like posting some more SHWC!
