Champs-Élysées

Since it seems only my friends subscribe to my blog, this stands to be the most anti-climactic announcement ever. However, for those of you who don't know, don't think this means we're not friends. I'll post happy birthday on your wall to prove it. Pinkie* swear. Of course, what I'm getting at is the most insanely good news I have gotten in quite some time.

I GOT THE JOB! DETROIT, WHAT?! DETROIT WHAT?!

Ok. Phew, I'm cooled down now. I lost my composure for a minute there. I couldn't really help it, though. I've had to keep that little nugget to myself for too long. Do you know how many times people can ask if you got a job? Holding that in was as difficult as drinking six cups of coffee, eating a KFC Double-Down, and then attempting to race a marathon. EXACTLY that hard, only metaphorically. You can't just tell someone they've gotten their dream job and then make them sit on it. I mean, legally you can, but... cold-blooded.

Needless to say, I'm super dee duper stoked about this. I think it's gonna be a huge challenge, but I'm ready to just get really crazy with it and hit the ground running. Honestly though, I'm not gonna have a LOT of time to think about the job right now. I've only got two weeks until I start and I have to work out a schedule for my wacky hats to wear to the office. I read in Forbes that good businessmen "wear a lot of different hats." So, seriously, I have bought, like, a ridiculous amount of headwear over the past weekend. Foam cowboy hats, Cat in the hat-hat's, Jester style hats, Trucker hats. All of them. So look out, CEO!

This honestly feels like one of the biggest victories in my life, so far. I will actually have a business card that says "Moosejaw Madness Maker," I will get to make jokes for a career, and I'll be working with a hilarious and ridiculously talented group. Super jazzed about it. Anyway, since it's like a victory, I rode a blue bicycle, and because I wanted to sound athletic and smart, I made the title of this entry a Tour De France reference. That was so Raven of me.


Anyway, at this point I'm just rambling. I just wanted to sum up what this whole experience has been like. Then I realized they had already made a movie montage years ago that PERFECTLY summed up my journey from beginning to end. And guess what? Here it is!

Love the Madness!





*Pinky is considered a misspelling, but Pinkie is not. I don't think we're ready to make that decision, spellcheck. We put em both in the dictionary, so just back off
