I had my interview this morning at Lonely Planet.   ;D

I'm so glad it went well!  I'll be thinking good thoughts and hoping they get back to you soon with good news.

Finding a huge pumpkin at a good price. I have named him Soup.  Even though I have named him soup, he will also be used for pies and pumpkin seeds. They taste better fresh, and the store bought ones I was looking at have 59% of your daily sodium per serving.

I had my interview this morning at Lonely Planet.... A really nice interview. It was really nice to have an interview where two years travelling is a good thing and they were interested in it rather than just being a two year gap in work experience!

So happy for you - it sounds like it went really well!! Everything crossed here that you receive some good news about it this week.  ;D [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

It is almost puppy time.  [smiley=smitten.gif] My friend Chris' dog is about two weeks away from delivering. Mama is a Border Collie and daddy is a Collie. The litter they had last year were all adorable and have grown up to be beautiful. All went to loving homes for only the asking price of covering their baby shots.

Although our lease says no cats or dogs, I will still be over at his house every given opportunity, falling in love.

This is such awesome news!!!! Congratulations! What type of work will you be doing? You don't have to elaborate if you don't want to, I'm just intrigued about the types of positions they have there.

Thanks everyone!

I'll be doing bits and pieces in a few different departments- helping out with HR, press releases, doing some research.... I guess I'll find out more specifics in a few days!  :)
