[ this is message 2 of 3 ] ...when he doesn't get back to me the next day with details i call and it turns out he's in class. i talk to the sales manager who tells me that it's true-- they were able to get a silver tdi in their allocation, and it's on the boat. i get the VIN a few days later and it's in the port. They're not sure when it will arrive. They hope by the end of september, but don't want to promise me. I'm thinking it'll most likely be october before i see the car. Friday, September 24th. My group at work goes out for a leisurely lunch. When we return, i have a voicemail message from my dealer. "Lisa, it's elliott, guess what i have for you....." screaming. my co-workers running into my office to see what's happened. dancing around, total inability to concentrate on work. i visit with my buddy jason and he remembers that there's a piece of toffee cheesecake in the fridge that he doesn't want. this day just gets better and better. as we're about to go retrieve the cheesecake, my boss stops in his office and hands me a form from human resources. i've received a promotion and a raise. i spend the rest of the day being really really really careful not to do anything to spoil this amazing day.... next :: top
