Today I got a phone call - I got the job after all. Still sinking in - so bloody happy. My first serious job, and I couldn't have wished for a better one at a better company.
On the other hand, my friend with benefits told me today that the benefits are gone. So that's a bummer.
Glad you got the job, Dune! congratulations!

If your dental hygeinist looks anything like mine, I'd pay extra for that!

I heard something like this from a friend at b-school, she was my age and I was just dumbfounded.

Speaking of, I'm posting from my recently-refurbished laptop - new hard drive and Windows 8.
