Decided to take in some Florida culture so I& #39;m getting a coffee at a Wawa.

Hi, I& #39;m in Florida.

Gonna vape some kratom.

My biggest client just offered a job to run a family holding. I have zero relevant experience but I& #39;d get immediate equity.

Perfect set up for a disaster. So of course I& #39;m considering it.

"Babe, want to move to Florida and watch me pull a Hindenburg?"

Interesting twist, A actually has the sort of experience needed for this sort of management role.

A real champ gets a finder& #39;s fee here for steering the job to his wife.

"Remember how we we just thinking about New York, babe? You know what& #39;s almost the exact same thing? South Florida."

What a weird day this is turning into.

Well, I cancelled my flight out and she& #39;s booking a flight in tomorrow morning.

Worst case scenario he can buy her a nice dinner and tell her the problems they& #39;re having. No downside to check it out. He seems interested already. This must be giant headache for him.

It& #39;s wild that I was talking her up to him and explaining what she does before he even pitched it to me. Was just making some small talk.

He& #39;s texted me all night about her work history and a couple relevant initiatives she& #39;s spearheaded at work lately.

This... could happen.

We were just worried about Thanksgiving so, of course, we just dropped two days of prep and added flying home the day before into the mix.

On the plus side, we just ate fried alligator cuz lol yolo.

I just told my sister in law where a back up credit card is in the house and asked her to buy everything premade from the good grocery store but the turkey.

If she handles this, I& #39;m promoting her to SIL emeritus and putting her at the head of the table on Thursday.

lol, get rekt, venerable grandmother

Send smart brain vibes for A. This could be a pretty big thing for her/us. She could use something like this after the past couple months, tbh.

Time for that dinner meeting with him. *fingers crossed*

(Sitting at the bar for a bit so they can talk without it seeming like she needs me here and just reading body language through a mirror. If he makes an offer tonight, we are going to party like true fools. This is my solemn pledge.)

(They& #39;re going through financials and have the table covered with papers. There& #39;s no way this isn& #39;t going well.)

Two hours. Walked over a couple drinks for them and they& #39;re deep in the details.

He& #39;s showing her a crazy amount of internal info if he isn& #39;t planning on making an offer. Neither of them winked at me like it& #39;s a done deal though.

(I& #39;ve made best friends with the bartender. Her brother put a combustion engine on his wheelchair and their parents want to take it away because it goes so fast. She& #39;s killing me.

(Her dad walked outside last week to see his son wearing a football helmet and a cop who wanted to make sure he knew wheelchairs aren& #39;t street legal. Even if you& #39;re wearing a helmet. I& #39;m dead.)

Oh, hot damn, they& #39;re done and we& #39;re gonna order some food. Still don& #39;t know if he made an offer yet.

Tbh, I& #39;m almost as excited to eat at this point. S T A R V I N G

Talk later, I& #39;ll find a moment to pass on what the dealio is when I find out.

Lots of details here but... SHE GOT THE OFFER.

My girl is a winner. Got that tiger blood and shit.

Thanks, fam. :)))

Gotta think about a couple things with her mom and current job but... she might have just fast forwarded her career by 20 yrs.

This is so wild. And it& #39;s happening for the best person I know.

Gonna see if we can find a rooftop bar and bottle of champagne.

She& #39;s already asleep.

Goes from excited to asleep in five minutes.

HOW DOES SHE DO IT

Got most the day free until we fly out. Gonna get some Cuban espressos to wake up the sleeping champ here.

What a fantastic day. Hope you all are having a great morning. :)

*whispers* We were just here on our honeymoon a couple months ago. Luckiest place in the world for us.
