I could post this in the upper regions and pat my little self on the back - but I'm not comfortable doing that so just visiting my buds here.

I am pickled tink so want to share my happy moment.

I finished a long term job today. One year of writing monthly for a large manufacturer's site. I was thrilled to get a fantastic testimonial from the buyer as well as a healthy and unexpected bonus.

Even more, I was happy with ME for sticking with it for a full year. When I read the posts by some who are doing one thing today and something new tomorrow I realized what a feat this was.

So - yeay, me!!!! Happy dance.:p

      You go girl!

      Any links to that mfrs site you'd like to share?

      And btw, if you have any extra pickled tink be sure to pass it around here. If it's anything like pickled eggs I'll take a double serving.

        And if you do get a double serving, people will avoid you more than they do now.

        Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
        So that blind people can hate them as well.

    Way Kewl, girlfriend -- I can't think of anyone I'd rather be congratulating right now. I know you've had a rough one since Katrina and am so glad that the year is ending like this for you.

    Um.....perhaps we need to chip in and buy you some bandages..........you're nose has to be raw from that grindstone by now.

      I've worn out two grindstones already - ready to start another one.

      links to that mfrs site you'd like to share?
      Can't - have an NDA with them that prevents that.

      When I was a teen my Mother had some irritating sayings - one of them often repeated was "I'm tickled pink". I switched it around just to tick her off - worked every time so I kept it that way.

      Only downside is now I need to add another long term client - I'll worry about that later.
