Thank you, Brothers. Here's the scoop.
I have a decent job. I'm compensated fairly, and I'm pretty good at what I do. My boss took a different position in the company so I applied for his position.
I was the long-shot underdog (a familiar role in my life). The person that was suppose to be the heir to the throne had 14 more years of experience over me.
I pulled the upset.
I'm proud of my accomplishment, and am psyched at the new challenges ahead of me, and I've been in email contact with some of my closest friends here.
The reason I didn't post anything on it is simply this: There are a ****load of people in the country and on these boards that are smarter and more gifted than me that are either unemployed or underemployed.
Bloody has been such an integral part in my success over the last year, there is no way I can ever repay him (the bastid). He's proud of me, so he started the thread.
So that's the whole thing.
