A Big Change

My, my, my. I am sat here on New-job-eve wondering how on Earth I was picked out to join a team of clever people, in a quirky office, in a real job?!

I got a call four days before my birthday offering me an interview, which in itself was overwhelming. They told me over a hundred people had applied and that they were interviewing eight. Again, yet more overwhelmation! (Not to be confused with boasting, I really, really didn't expect it.) Then four days after my birthday I got another call. I was waiting for him to say 'I'm sorry, we're not going to offer it to you this time' etc etc My surprise was absolutely one of the best feelings of surprise I have EVER felt, let me tell you! I instantly phoned my Mum and Dad to let them know that, as of the 23rd August 2010, I am going to be a Junior Online Writer. Their response was much like my own, wooping and laughing and sort of kicking and air-stamping (I was still in bed when he called and embarrassingly, he could tell). What can I say, they must have been blown away by my fantastic sales pitch for their Big Green Calculator... (I was somewhat less convinced but proved again to myself that I am capable of spewing out a large amount of junk against the clock.)

So tomorrow is my first day, obviously my first concern is what I should wear. Second being, what I should buy after my first payday.
