You Know It’s The Perfect Place…

… for my husband to work when he receives his flight/hotel itinerary and interview schedule along with a note that reads like this:

Dress here is casual, so wearing a suit is not necessary – please dress comfortably.

His smug grin when I sighed and said, “Okay, fine, I’ll unpack the suit from your suitcase,” indicated he deserved a good kick in the ass.  Although I can’t deny that for Mr. Jeans-T-shirt-ponytail-flip-flops, the dress code is right up his comfort zone.  He’s gonna fit right in.

He’s kind of in shock that the company is paying for him to fly out there, stay in a beautiful hotel downtown, and eat whatever the hell his stomach can hold.  I’m not.  He’s great at what he does, and I’m honestly a bit jealous of how good he really is in the world of computer software engineering.

Now, if only I could find a job posting that went something like this:

Wanted:  Smart-ass with a great sense of humor needed for sarcastic commentary and silly writing.  Part-time position that makes millions.  Must be able to eat it as well as dish it.  Benefits include free coffee, kitchen space and ingredients for goody-baking obsessions, and Prozac with doctor’s prescription.  On-site babysitting included, so your spawn can tag along.  Anxiety issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and postpartum depression a plus.

    When I read your blog it makes me feel like I’ve just had a hot cup of peppermint tea and a bubblebath in the dead of winter without kids banging on the door screaming my name. I love it! It’s like an ongoing book that I can’t wait to read the next page of. . .you’ll make it as a writer. It’ll be the easiest money you’ve ever made.

    I’m with Deanna (even though I have no idea who she is) that you should totally write a book about Nothing. It would kind of be like the TV show that Jerry and George pitched on Seinfeld.

    You actually already have that job, you’re just doing it pro bono right now.

    LMAO… I’d love to get paid for doing it, though.

    Best of luck to James with the interview — I’m sure he’ll ace it!
