I got me a Jobby Job

It’s official, the papers are signed and the contract is valid, I AM EMPLOYED!

The company is small but growing fast, and though I’ve been through the trials and tribulations of a small shop before, I’ve never done it as MANAGEMENT. You heard me right, I’m management. Boss has had this company since he was 15, wanted what was essentially a Personal Assistant, but figured that he could use somebody that could offer much more to the company. He decided that it was more important for the company to have somebody that could whip it into shape and make some more bucks than just make coffee for clients and tell him when his meetings are.

BAM, that’s me.

It’s a good deal and while I’ll be making less than I was making in the States, it’ll only be for 3 months, and then my salary will go up significantly (to about 20K more than I made in the States). Yep, got that in writing too.

Man, I’m rockin’.

We’re quite excited.


After the meeting and the paper signage, we sat around the backyard and had a bit of fun with the camera. A few videos (in which I’ve built a little “pre-loader” into) and some pics. Enjoy.

Lex “Lufor” was apparently going to cut “Lewis” Lane’s head, but Superman saved her. Batman helped, of course, but really only did a lot of running and yelling.

His coat is usually his go-go-gadget coat, but now it’s his Clark Kent outfit. He was desperately trying to get Batman to turn back into “Bluce” Wayne, but Batman defended the non-costume-changing with, “But… someone’s in twubble!”

This one’s hard to hear, but he’s basically reminding me that they are, in fact, “superhewoes” and that the lack of costuming now is because they’re “pwotecting their identities.”

The pester me and pester me to take a picture of them and, when I do, they both make “angry” faces and then “goofyball” faces.

I know this one looks a bit disturbing, but when he squeaks, “Weech for da sky, piwlgwim!” it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

Jo snapped this one to capture the elation of now being legally and gainfully employed. YAY!

Next, she grabbed the camera and decided to be “ahty” with it, taking some closeups of the chilluns. She’s got an amazing eye, and that combined with the fact that we have the two best looking children on the planet… makes for a damn good picture.

The Pie was trying to give Mommy a pretty flower she’d picked. The fact that it was really a dead weed that I’d chopped with the edger a week before made it no less sweet and charming.

Again, Best Looking Children Ever!
