BEST/WORST LUCK EVER

Post by HEATHER_INVICTUS » Mon Aug 18, 2014 2:40 pm

So I might have gotten a job in Yosemite National Park, but they want me pretty much ASAP.

THAT MEANS I'M GOING TO MISS THE MAN BURNING
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :| :| :| :| :| :| :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:


might have to leave a few days early instead of staying the whole week like originally planned.

Yosemite is freakin awesome, though. I can't miss out on this opportunity.

There's always next year!

But I really wanted to see that man burn. :(

In 2012 had a ticket, EA pass, was all set to go, and hadn't been able to be there for four years!! Just then I got a new better job, and the other guy there who does what I do already had the week of BM reserved "off". I had to forfeit... BM, not the job... congrats on the great job, AND for having your priorities straight!

That's the way I see it too. Most of us would miss the Burn for a dream job!

Congratulations, Heather Invictus! :D

( I hope you get to see if the job is yours before you get rid of your ticket. )

I'm giving this a nudge over to Open Discussion, since I think that's a better fit for this type of discussion.

As for your news, hooray/aww.... but kudos for having the good sense to know the golden opportunity when you see it, and not passing it up because it would mean cutting your burn a little short. The new gig will mean life gets better all year round, and hopefully make for even better future burn experiences. And wow, talk about a great view at the office!
