Triskaidekaphobia

Should I be worried that I'm signing a job offer letter on the morning of Friday, October 13th?

It's a wonderful omen.

I would say no, since that's purely superstitious hoodoo.

Congratulations!

I was born on the 13th (a Tuesday, but I've always had good luck on Fridays as well). Go for it.

Yes. What's the job? And did you read the fine print, you know, the bit written in blood?

Ooh, congratulations! And only worry if it really makes your day more interesting.

13's my lucky number. I've always, always had a good day on Friday the 13th.

So if you like, you can view it as a little bit of vixy-magic rubbing off on you. :)

Depends on the job. If I recall correctly you do system adminstration, so... yeah, be afraid.

Congratulations! What will you be doing?

I once did one on April Fool's Day. Years later I was still wondering whether it had set the tone. Good luck with yours!

Eeee, congratulations!

And no, of course not ... Fridays are, by definition, fabulous days (being the gateway to the weekend) and 13 is a lucky number if you happen to be paganish.

Only if it is on a journal bound in leather fine as soft as human skin.

Congrats!!!! I hope this is a job that you will enjoy and that you with have room for growth and fun. There are jobs like that!

Thanks, everyone. :-)

No details available until well after OVFF. Complexities happening simultaneously with busybusy OVFF preparation. More information to come!

You should be worried about not signing a job offer. Congratulations!!!

I remember getting a verbal job offer the day I flew out for OVFF for Cat's stint as their Interfilk guest, in 1997. I was so jazzed I had a hard time going to sleep that night.

Here's hoping that the complexities resolve and the job turns out to be a good one!

It's not to be worried about, it's to be congratulated!
