That really is superb news JJ!!!

Those tests must have been really terrible since you've apparently forgotten how to spell. "Psychometry"?

Best of luck to you, friend.

Good for you my friend I knew that you'd find something soon... congratulations and all the best at your new job. I'm really glad they decided to give you a "Pyschometry test" and not an IQ test eh?

Great news JJ but I do think you should change the title to "The bald eagle has landed."

Congrats JJ! Glad to hear that you're back in the rat race.

Now perhaps your post count will slow down and the 32k post will take a year to reach

Hmmm, does psychometry have anything to do with determining if you are metally sound/unsound?

congragulations JJ, your watch is so nice ( bluecy ) I cant say that 70000USD priced full jubilee diamond white gold ones are better and good to buy, BLUECY is still and will be best.

And once again, the sheep can breathe easy - well, for eight hours a day on weeksdays, leastways.

Congratulations, JJ!
