YOUR INQUEST HAS A JOB AT LAST!
Well, my dear friends, I searched and searched every day. I went to innumerable interviews. At last, I have found a company that is happy for my Master's degree and does not mind that I am just out of school. This company, which largely functions within the realm of pharmacology and medical science (chemistry emphasis), has decided to hire me on as one of their administrative assistants. There is a lot of paperwork invovled and a lot of detail required, as the company must comply with numerous governmental regulations. However, there is a spirit within the office that I enjoy--a spirit of professionalism and cheer. I expect that it will make for a good learning environment, wherein I can enhance my organizational and analytical skills, both of which I shall need in great supply.
So, after many, many months of unemployment, the sun has broken through the clouds. I am feeling so much better now, as soon I shall have a handle on my finances. Congratulations to me, and thank you to all of you who have encouraged me!! You Inquest is taking off in life, has overcome yet another challenge...at last, at last, at last!!!

Thank you, our Sire! I am elated!
Especially as my employer is offering to pay me more than what I asked for. My cup runneth over...Except for the fact that you cannot congratulate me in person, my lord :)!
Dear Inquest, did you
Dear Inquest, did you preempt my congratulations or did you reply to a reply on another post. Did that make sense? Anyway I am so happy for you.

I was replying to you, my lord.
I replied from this entry rather than the other where you had offered your kind congratulations, for I did not want to hijack the blog.
I posted on my New Job AFTER I started talking about it...I was so excited, you see. But I appreciate your congratulations, and yes I certainly meant what I said: I would have enjoyed your congratulations in person, indeed. But I am happy that you are happy for me where you are, just the same :)!
Congrats, Inquest!
I am so happy for you! You deserve a job where you can be happy, and it sounds like you found just that.
Thanks, our Allie.
I am excited about my first day...And scared to death!! The job sounds positively frightening, what with all the responsibility. But I expect I will learn as I go. Wish me luck :)!
Good luck!
I am sure you will learn fast, and you will do well!
I'm happy because,...
it means the first ice cream is on you. :-)
Fie, our Catfish! Where is your sense of chivalry?
To make a lady pay for her dessert! All right, our Catfish. You win. But beware of when it is time for you to pay. I imagine I might be very, very hungry...Perhaps I'll want to try one of the more costly ice cream sundaes. Ah yes, we'll see... >:D!!
I have the feeling that,...
no matter what you order, I'll have to finish it, including the ice cream. So, make sure there's no fruit in yours. ;-P
You know, our Catfish, this might be the one...
interview I actually nailed. My employer, apparently, was exceedingly pleased, as well as everyone else who interviewed me for this company. This is a little puzzling, considering I don't know a blessed thing about medical science or pharmacology. But I won't question what they see, for certain.
I admit, though, I am soooo nervous. I won't sleep a wink Wednesday night, for now I feel like I am returning to class; only this time, I have to learn and perform a lot faster!!
It does seem kind of odd,...
to start a new job on a Thursday, unless that's how they pay, but so be it. I know this is going to be a great stepping stone towards those untold riches.
Maybe it is I who will do the sharing of wealth, our Catfish.
I will take your requests when the time comes. After all, I do owe you (I'm not talking about ice cream!!) :)
I know, IOAW,...
but I'll take it in ice cream anyway.
If that's what you prefer, our Catfish.
But of course, I'll check with your wife first ;)!
We're not worried about her, IOAW,...
She knows you'd be coming for ice cream; as I said, no secrets at all. :-)
Oh I meant in later years, our Catfish.
When (or if) I become pleasantly wealthy. Should I wish to remunerate you for your kindness, and you want it all in ice cream, surely such excessive indulgence cannot be sanctioned without her approval.
I know you have told her about my greedy pursuit of ice cream, to occur sometime soon, no doubt. And boy do I look forward to it :)!
Ah, I'd misunderstood then,...
Well now, I'll have to think about this one just a little bit. My tastes are relatively inexpensive unless I'm buying for myself, but maybe I'll have you buy me a fancy new laptop or desktop computer at that time, eh? Course, I expect to already be rich, so I might have done it already.
Your Inquest! Well YAY!
Sassys
Uuuum are you going to call your boss "Our sir?" Or "Our Maam?" Just a tip...may not be the right way to go? But good for you deario! You may now join the ranks of the rest of us:(
Make Catfish pay for the dinner AND the dessert!!!!!
I'll make our Catfish pay, period, our Sassys!
And no, I shall not refer to my employer as "our" this and that. Not at all. Sir or Ms. is an adequate title.
By the way, our Sassys, seems my looks may have helped me through the door on this one. Not to worry, though: I shall behave myself, as always, just like you >:)!
Got one on looks, eh,...
well, I knew that would happen one of these days with a male interrogator.
Heehee! Well, our Catfish, I think I'll take care.
No low necklines or short skirts, I can tell ya that much. My work suits cover every part of me and NOTHING clings. So...the novelty of me will wear off, probably by the end of my first day :)!
I doubt that, Miss IOAW,...
I can't see anyone getting tired of you that easily.
I'll remind you of that, our Catfish...
...when I come to visit and many days later refuse to leave for love of ice cream ;)!
Nah, because you'd have to get used to me also,...
which means having to deal with some of my long term eccentricities, which my wife loves and others just laugh at. But they don't see me every day in my own house. :-)
That's the fun of it, our Catfish.
(chuckle) Whatever your strangeness in your home, trust me, we'll be even once you see how strange I can be. Hair flying, glasses, baggy 'jammies, big bunny slippers, and a plate of pie in my hand, munching carelessly. It's not a pretty site. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Well, I'm not sure where,...
you'd be getting the pie from, since we won't have any pie in the house, or ice cream because of the wife, but I'm sure if we have the party we'd have something, and of course I'd have to buy a couple of cakes from my favorite bakery for the event. We'd be going out for ice cream more, I'd be willing to bet, without her.
Fair enough, our Catfish. Fair enough :)!
I suppse pie could be substituted with cake, as long as they are nicely frosted, of course :)
And as for ice cream, well, I can't get enough of Cold Stone. Heehee! Hope my metabolism won't be slowing down anytime soon. Right now, the thought of all these desserts is making me salivate like a dog seeking scraps from the dinner table. I anticipate indulging my sweet tooth, our Catfish, with cake, ice cream, whatever. Well, not whatever...there HAS to be my Cold Stone. Everything else is negotiable :)!
Tell you what, IOAW,...
you start working out now and drop about 5 pounds or so, because when you start eating all that ice cream, with all that extra stuff in it, you'll put that much on and more.
Uhhh, Sassys,...
you forget, I'm married, and my wife will be coming along, so she's best think about paying at least once. Otherwise, I'm going to set her up with someone so that someone will pay. Ah yes, a blind date; wouldn't that be interesting. lol
You wouldn't dare, our Catfish!
I swear you will rue the day if you set me up with a blind date. I will send a pointy reckoning that will come thundering around your ears! >:o Do you hear? Get that scheming grin off your face and that conniving idea out of your head! >:(
A pointy reckoning?
Okay, you got me with this one. lol
Aha! Did I make ya laugh, our Catfish?
Don't you just love my English :)!?
Yes, but,...
I also have no idea what it means. Almost sounds like you're going to throw a bolt of lightning at me.
That might be a safe bet, our Catfish...
...if you try to send me on a blind date. I could almost see your eyes, your michievous grin as this stranger-gentleman takes me through the door! Ha! You'll not ensnare me in that trap. I entertain you enough, as it is >:)!
Well, I didn't say,...
I wouldn't be there with you. Heck, maybe we build a party around it, and you'd get to meet my one "letch" friend who thinks all 20-somethings are in love with him; he's 54, and of course clueless. :-) But if we had a party there would be lots of people, because, for some reason, people love coming to any party we throw.
I thought you meant to abandon me, our Catfish.
Hence my threat of a pending pointy reckoning. I recant, I recant, so long as you are sincere. You pledge not to disappear behind a couch or some bushes, leaving me alone with a 54-year-old, or some other blind date! >:)
Oh, heck no IOAW,...
I wouldn't abandon you to anyone like that. You'd be our guest, so we'd make sure you were well taken care of.
Now, if you were about 5 or 6 years old, I wouldn't make that promise. lol
Very funny,our Catfish!
I heard the sarcasm. Hmpth! I will have you know that keeping me within your vision is not too much to ask, even at my ripe old age, especially as I may very well disappear into oblivion if I am left in the hands of a stranger. Just what would you have to say for yourself if I did disappear, and you couldn't find me at the nearest Cold Stone?
You would not be smirking as you might be now!
Now, if the gentleman you find for me seems reasonable in appearance and does not appear to have a dubious background, maybe I might tolerate his company alone, without you or Robyn. But if anything shady happens, our Catfish, and I wind up mutilated under a pound of concrete, my ghost will haunt you to the last of your days! >:)
You can trust me, IOAW,...
because I'm not the sort that goes around setting people up on blind dates to begin with, and, truthfully, know very few single men. And, if they're friends of mine, then they'd be totally trustworthy because I don't hang with people I can't trust.

Deep down, I know, our Catfish :)!
And by the way, I am NOT going to gain any weight from eating ice cream, not after all the walking I'll have to do to get to and from work. Come read my post on my first day. You'll see what I mean.
I've read and responded, IOAW,...
and you may be correct on the exercise part. But don't make a haibt out of NOT eating at work; that's not healthy either.
