Team Awesome Is Formed

Geek-Boy had been offered his job the day after his interview, so after a day had passed, and with my appalling performance anyway, I was pretty down in the dumps and had all but given up. Geek-Boy said he'd drive down after work on Friday to cheer me up. Imagine my surprise then, late on Friday afternoon when my mobile rings, and it is a Cambridge number on the screen. Much like with the envelope I knew really it could only mean one thing, but my heart was in my mouth once again as I answered. The lady seemed a bit shocked when I burst into tears as she made the offer, and told me to take the weekend to think about it. It didn't really take a lot of thinking about, but then I realise that I might not have seemed particularly rational at that point.

This would have saved Geek-Boy a 2.5 hour drive down to console me, if he his phone had been switched on. Since it wasn't, and by the time I could try phoning him again he would probably have already set off anyway, I decided to wait and tell him in person. He finally arrived and was being sympathetic and loving, but not actually listening to me, so I had to grab him by the shoulders and shout, 'I'M COMING TOO!'. The look on his face was priceless - I wish I'd had a camera - and then jolliness ensured. He just kept saying, 'Awesome, that is just awesome. Awesome' and bouncing around. We'd worked so hard together as a team to both get to this stage that we decided our team should have an official name, and Team Awesome was formed.

I have no idea what we did for the rest of the weekend, except that we probably talked about Antarctica a lot.
