Lorna, I can understand the feeling of pressure. A blogger colleague sent me the ad and encouraged me to apply. High on her encouragement, I thought to myself, “Why not? After all, I have survived basic training, potty training, and on-the-job, first-year teacher training. Plus, I’ve won awards for my humorous speeches (ok, really only two 2nd places). I can do this.”

Into the third day of crafting my cover letter, I was sitting in front of my computer in jammies soaked with the sweat of fear and drinking whiskey straight from the bottle. My husband came in to see what was going on and I broke down slurring out, “I cahnt take duh pwressure. I’d whather go back tuh basic!. He gently put me to bed and when I woke up I quickly deleted my cover before burning my jammies.

P.S. I love Good Morning, Vietnam and I can just imagine you coming into the blog shouting (virtually, of course), “Goooood Moornin’, FWJ!”

P.P.S. I still have some whiskey left, if you need any

Thanks, Deb and Petula. It’s nice to be here, and it will be nice to be in the Tooleyberries of Montana, too.

@Simon – I solemnly swear to smile and laugh heartily whenever I read something you’ve written. Unless it’s your will. In that case, I will giggle discretely into my handkercheif. (A promise is a promise, after all…)

Hey no fair, shifting Tropic Thunder funny pressure on to me is, well, a lot of pressure.

Thanks for the mention though fun stuff buddy, we should make a pact to laugh heartily at each others posts to ensure we are getting at least some giggles and guffaw.

Bon Chance!

Welcome Lorna. I think I’m a pretty good judge of character and you and Simon will both do a wonderful job.

Welcome to the FWJ family. We look forward to lots of good stuff from you!
