I think I found my new job!
 

I can't tell anyone at work, as it's yet to be announced, and I need to tell someone.

I just more than doubled my annual income today. I was offered a position as a municipal bond trader. I jumped all over it as if it was a busty redhead with a few beers in her. It's variable...you get a commission based on the volume of business that your desk does at work, but I have a guaranteed minimum salary (even that is more than I'm making now) if things go really south. But the average salary for this position has been pretty lucrative in past years. I am friggin over the moon.

I am having my celebratory steak and beers in our newly built home that we just moved into two weeks ago. To paraphrase from The Simpsons: "Everything's coming up Mookie!"

Outstanding Mookie. Congrats. :woot:

Maybe you'll get that boat now? :O:

That is awesome news. Good luck with it.

:rock: :yeah: :woot:

So, does that make you "the man?"
Are you a 1%er now?

So, in other words, what you're say is, the next subsim meet is at your house?

Congratulations! Great news!

What it means is that when I espouse my socialist, liberal, commie, left-wing, pinko opinion on taxing the rich, it means I'll have some skin in the game and I'll be talking about myself.

I used to say to my right-leaning friends "You know, I HOPE I have to worry about taxation on the rich. It means I'm RICH!"

Congrats! :woot: :woot:

Hey, that's great news.:yeah: Doubling one's salary is no small accomplishment, especially in today's economy.
Congratulations.

Well done that man! Great news mate. I'm about to change jobs myself I handed my notice in at work yesterday and start the new job on 5 August. Not as big a kick in the wallet as yours but a modest increase which will do. I was about to post a thread with the same name when I saw yours.

Congrats Mookie! Well done!

Well done Mookie, and TarJak. :woot:

Well done, it is good to share in your sucess.:D :woot:

Looks like the beers are on Mark and Grant :Kaleun_Cheers:

Congratulations to you both :sunny:
