I have had a brilliant day-
This morning I "accidently" opened the mail and found 4 tickets to see Joe Satriani so Just1 and I are going to have one hell of a great evening!
I had finished my contract in March and since then I have been searching for a new and permanent job. I have been to shed loads of interviews to some very "ordinary" jobs but then a great job in a great company doing what I want to do and taking a promotion AND earning nearly as much as I did as a contractor with car allowance and benifits.
Tonight I have been called and verbally offered the job with more money than they advertised! I have verbally accepted and the contracts are being sent over from the states. I am over the moon.
To keep it elise related - I topped up my zymol cos all my obsessive polishing had depleted stocks!
I am on top of the world!

Good job Gooby. I was thinking about you on monday! 
Guess you're out for the 5th then. Good cause though.
Sorry - I will either be starting my new job on the 5th or if I can defer the start till the 12th I am going to take my summer holiday now and go to Jordan for some sun, fun and diving!

Congratulations gooby. All you need now is some sun
I'll order a little bit just for you today but the rest will have to wait until I get my baby back

Congratualtions Goob, but does permanent mean a) more or b) less track days then ?
When I am contracting they would have to drag me away from my desk and when I am not contracting I dont spend money - so it means MORE trackdays! Couldnt be much less than I have been doing recently!

You can buy some more jeans now as well!
Went to GAP last night and got jeans and Mrs Gooby got me a couple of nice shirts. Feeling rather dapper!

Which Zymol did you get?
I have a "starter pack which contains Atlantique, Destiny and Concors but I am really getting through it, I wax twice a month. To prevent the depletion of these really expensive waxes I have got the last pot of Ital (made for ferrari and other plastic bodied cars) at the old price od £65. It is now £360! I also just topped up on field glaze and wheel cleaner. If I get away with it, next month I am going to get some Titanium for the wheels.
And it gets better...
I have defered the start of my new job for a couple of weeks and I am off to Jordan on Saturday. 13 days of Amman, Jaresh, Dead Sea, Petra, wadi Rum then Aquaba to do some red sea diving. Fine and wonderful people, incredible food, GREAT hotels, I am going to spend a night under the stars in Petra, some wonderful family and some slouching round wrecks in the red sea. The dead sea is mind numbingly brilliant and you must do it at least once in your life (2nd time)
Quality time with my georgeous wife.
I am going to "chill to the core"
I have had Tracker immobilise my car so Twinpipe doesnt get any ideas and I have locked away the zymol from Just1. My puppy is going to "the grandparents" so they can get some exercise. (I am going to miss my dog the most!)
I cant wait.......
