Define:

I have a new definition of the favor of God.

The favor of God is when you go to your new job for just a couple of hours, to meet everybody and fill out paperwork... and you get a raise.

------------------------

A couple of things I forgot I liked about having a job:

1) I like the way it feels when you get home and take off your formal shoes and walk on the carpet. (yes, I have shoes of my own now, that fit)

2) I like putting on my grungie clothes and knowing that now, if someone sees them and makes an assumption... they'd be wrong.

I walked in today wearing a dress-shirt, tie, slacks, and black shoes. While introducing me to everyone my new boss says, "Oh, and I forgot to tell him that Friday is Casual Day."

I tried to look baffled as I said to the group, "This is casual... I'll be wearing my tux on Tuesday."

They chuckled. I worked hard to convince myself that they were thinking to themselves,
Ohh, and he's funny too...

But if they were just chuckling politely... they sure are nice.
