Awesome!!
Yes, absolutely. The CFO had said he normally would want a third interview but until recently there weren't a lot of good applicants, myself included. That there was a confidence booster!
The place is fantastic. My wife and I are already looking at apartments which are closer and will result in much less travel time. I just can't wait!
Nicely done! And living close to work is so much nicer than commuting your life away!

I'm still blown away when I get to see my name the cover of a book.
Your name is Prose Press?!
Welp, here we go. The cover for a new Dilbert Pinkerton adventure, THE DAME WAS A TAD POLISH. Art by Larry Nadolsky.
I wish I could have like a secret camera to tape people's reactions when they see the cover and the title.

Sort of, he's a Panzerschwein. (German, Armadillo - lit. "Armored Pig")

Heh, that word was created by, depending on whose story you believe, either early German settlers in Texas, or German POWs during WW2 who were being held at Fort Bliss in El Paso. They'd never seen such a creature before, and were both scared of and fascinated by these "armored pigs."
It's a very Noir thing to run into Germans/Nazis at some point. It would fit perfectly.

Surprise retirement party! I am the most awesome bestest wife ever!
No, I mean, literally get people's reactions when they see it on a bookshelf. Like seeing their facial reactions to seeing the cover and reading the title.
Please thank him for his service! And, congrats!

And you were going to fly me out for it, right?
