I've had a job offer in NJ!!! |
|
Actually, two.
However, I'm taking the one that I really wanted, which pays $10,000 more than I'm making now, and which is a short commute.
The woman who will be my boss is so excited I accepted it... she said, "I was afraid you'd slip through my fingers!!!"
Yay!!! No working at Borders for me!!!

I'm thinking about getting married.
You should have seen how excited Haruka was when I told her. I think she may just want out of VA, though.

4. I got a fucking bone to pick with you New Jerseyeans!!! |
|
And you can all kiss my ass for all I care.
Only in New Jersey do they have it setup that the only way you can access the PNC Art Center is by getting on the Garden State Parkway and paying a damn toll.
What the fuck is with that!

10. Haruka told me awhile back that they had it on the news about Parkway tolls |
|
and that, as long as you honk, you won't get a ticket for not paying the toll.

I'll probably have a letter from NJ DOT fining me a couple of hundred dollars for failure to pay a damn quarter for a turnpike toll

It will always be The Garden State Arts Center to those of us who grew up in NJ before the renaming debacle.

24. You can drive your mini van on the parkway |
|
Though you have to pay a toll, it's quite pretty.
if you're there in the Fall, you can go pumpkin picking in Colts Neck, NJ.
