ah, a wage slave once more

[rone]

I signed Protrade's offer letter today.  I start on Friday.  I'll have to give Google and Simucad the bad news.

And there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth at Google and Simucad.

Oh! Woe is we. We didn't get the ronebofh!

[lusercop.livejournal.com]

Cool, well, congratulations! (even if it disappoints some)

Huzzah!

[wisn.livejournal.com]

Congrats to you. Is running fantasy leagues during work hours mandatory? That would be a perq.

[(Anonymous)]

Congratulations. It must be a relief. Is the job pretty much similar to your last?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

The overall daily tasks should be about the same, yep.

[boutell.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[ratphooey.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Could you start with making the site work with opera? ;-)

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

I wish, in-game trades won't even work with Firefox. But i'll be giving them an earful about that and Opera, you better believe it.

[opadit.livejournal.com]

Yay, job!

Hope they're a sensible place to work

[mouseworks.livejournal.com]

Yay paychecks.

Speaking of which, is the January order still on. I think I can swing the $50 now after I pay bills.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Yes, i'll be placing that order sometime this week.

[mdyesowitch.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. It's nice that you get to tie up all the loose ends so quickly.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

Most excellent. Glad to see you employed before your generous handshake wore off. :) Sorry you won't make it up to SF for lunch any time soon. :(

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

I'll be working in San Mateo, so maybe i'll swing upwards one of these days. Or you can come downwards.

Can you comment on why not Google?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

They would've taken too long to get back to me. I need money. Mah children need wine!

[thedarkages]

I knew there was a reason why Google's share price dipped! No Rone, no return.

I hope the new job fails to suck.

[(Anonymous)]

Yay! Income!

[twillis.livejournal.com]

May this begin a new glorious phase in your plans for world domination (so long as they don't interfere with mine).

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

My stepgrandchildren shall fight your children in the plains of destiny for the future of mankind. Either that or get really drunk and lie around in a stupor.

[twillis.livejournal.com]

My plan is to build my Atomic Supermen and have them ready to do battle just as your stepgrandkids are entering that awkward age where they are embarassed to bring their friends over to the volcano for fear that ol' granddad is sitting around in his underwear, working on the Doomsday Device again.

HAW! HAW!

eeeeeeeexcellent

[stoat.livejournal.com]

good to hear! yay for wage slavery!

[nixzusehen.livejournal.com]

Think of the vacation you can have with that severence....

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

The severance is going towards exercising my ADBE stock options. Assuming, of course, that my E*TRADE account acknowledges they exist again...

[matrushkaka.livejournal.com]

Do they have Japanese toilets?

[tongodeon.livejournal.com]

That was my first thought. I don't see how you could have passed up the japanese ass-washing toilets.

[matrushkaka.livejournal.com]

ronebofh should demand that in his contract.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Nope. But i didn't see any fancy toilets when i went to the can at Google, either. Probably because these were the old SGI buildings, where people crapped like Americans.

Good luck with the new job.

nm

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

"nm"?

[joepro.livejournal.com]

Sorry, i don't know if the subject part went through, it said good luck with your new job. then i typed nm for no message in the message part. Anyhow, good luck with your new job. nm

Joe

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Ah, heh. The way we did that at my previous workplace was put the info in the subject and end it with "[eom]" (end of message).

[joepro.livejournal.com]

I'm from the East Coast, so we're a little behind with the lingo. Actually, I think the reason we did nm is because you could not post a subject without a message. I still do this occasionally out of habit. Wow, the internet has come a long way thanks to guys like you! BTW, don't forget to sign up for the Pearl jam fan club, they will be doing a new album soon, and probably a tour in the summer or fall. Later.

[eejitalmuppet.livejournal.com]

Congrats! I'm going to prescribe you a course of red wine to treat this.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

OH IF I MUST.

Oh dear...

[drieuxster.livejournal.com]

And I was so looking forward to seeing you on the Vid Screens as the Thought Police Frog Marched you and the rest of the Terrrorist Clique at Google out to the MiniTrue where you would be able to find useful and productive lives.

Oh well.

[(Anonymous)]

congrats, dude!

[tritone.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'm glad it didn't take long...

[peglegpete.livejournal.com]

Conrats, you magnificent bastard!

[sandollar17.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you have a job again.

[schwa242.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

So I'm guessing Google's stock will be going back up and the government will be calling off their request for search records?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

It's easy to spread butter, but it's very hard to unspread it.

[pobig.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you found a new gig!

Congratulations on the new job!

[(Anonymous)]

Good luck, have fun, etc., etc.

[taerowyn.livejournal.com]

Belated congratulations!

[thingamarob.livejournal.com]

Likewise belated. I hope you like it.
