Yeah me! I just got a promotion and a raise!
On the plus side, my new title is associate director of public relations and I'll be a member of the executive team, which helps make decisions for the entire organization. I'll also probably be able to quit my part-time job in about six months, although I likely won't be working fewer hours.

On the down side, I'll have to be good and ween myself from my DU addiction — at least while I'm at work — because I'll be much busier. :-(

All in all, time to celebrate! :party:

5. going to take a shot at having my own business

the 'mugs for liberals' are only a tiny tiny part.

will have my shingle out for graphic design/consulting early next year. and have some other strategies in the works.

would love to succeed at MY work while I have the chance.

so, trying to make lemonade out of lemons!

Let me know if there's any way I can help.

Are you out of the regular gig already?

15. no. sometime next month (just home sick)
but, they took virtually ALL my work away.

i do two days of 'hotline' and the rest of the time, I'm researching, designing, posting new products... they don't seem to care WHAT I do. as long as I get out, preferably by the end of january.

it's STRESSful as hell to be there, but i'll milk as much $$$ out of them (while developing the website, products, brochures, portfolios, at their expense!)

thanks!

(p.s. at some point (early next year!) i'll probably want to put a link to FWIW in my online gallery as an example of 'collaboration'...

29. Way to go!
Some win,many many lose under this regime. Whatever you do don't blow that job by getting caught on DU doing work time.

I can't believe how many in the work place take the chance of surfing the net and em "other" web related things on company time.

Congrats...

2. Congratulations, prolesuited!
The weaning away from DU will be hard. But it will always be here.

The new job title sounds like a great opportunity. I'm happy for you! :-)
