I've just had the best news in the world (for me)!!! Who would you tell first?

Asked by harple (10455points) August 25th, 2010

I’ve just received the best news in the world for me, that means I’m going to be able to move back up North (where I belong) and back to peripatetic teaching, the job I love so much it’s not a job!

So, what would be the best news in the world for you, and who would you tell first?!

First off, Congro Rats!! :)

My girlfriend. She’d be the first to know.

Congratulations! I hope your move goes well.

The best news in the world right now would be that my husband was coming home. I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone that news though.

The second best news I’d like in the coming months is to get pregnant. My husband would be the first to know, followed by my mom.

The best news in the world would be that we sold our house and all of us would go do the Happy Farmer dance in my next door neighbors driveway.

Congratulations! It’s a dream of mine to have a job I love in a good location :) This is fantastic news, indeed.

The best news I could hear is that I’ve been accepted into the graduate school I have my heart set on, and the first person that I would tell is my mum (she’d wig out – the school is out of the country. I doubt she’ll want to see me leave, but I’m determined.)

@Cruiser ooh, sounds like there’s a tale there…

@muppetish intriguing, where is it?!

stardust's avatar

Congratulations. That’s great news :)

I’d tell my closest friend or my mum.

Cruiser's avatar

@harple Yes indeed! A couple of them as a matter of fact…real head shakers too!

@harple Australia! I was so excited when researching the school. It felt like a dream fit.

Congratulations! Tell the one or ones you love first.

Moving back up North eh? That brings us a little closer. If you’re really good & ask nicely I may let you come see me ;¬} Seriously though i’m pleased for you & good luck. As for me, the greatest news I have had & no doubt will ever have, was when I found out the wife was pregnant. On both occasions I could have been knocked down with a feather, fantastic!!!! Oh & I told just about anyone I came across, quite literally as it happens :¬D

harple's avatar

@ucme pretty please???
@Cruiser I shall have to search for the details in various answers on here then…
@muppetish Australia would be very special indeed!

ucme's avatar

@harple Haha, done deal. You’re in! ;¬}

Congrats! I am happy for you. If I had great news I would do “I found the gold dance” and announce it over the internet just like you did!

No one because no one would care

Since I’ve decided that my ship isn’t coming in, I decided that the next best thing was getting my boat. So I got a new boat. Saturday. I told Facebook. (Sorry, Fluther, you’re not even second.)

PS: I’m a recent (not ‘new’) grandfather. That was months ago.

jazmina88's avatar

Yippee….....i’d fluther and tell my Mom.

So happy for you.

harple's avatar

Thank you all! :D Am grinning like a Cheshire cat!

@CyanoticWasp congratulations to you!
@hug_of_war people on here seem very caring to me…

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I’d tell my bf first then my best friend and then my mother.

KhiaKarma's avatar

How exciting to do something that you find so rewarding. Congrats! I would definitely tell the love of my life first. Then, I’d wish I could call my Grandfather (deceased 3 years), and then I’d call my closest friend.

Time to start collecting boxes!

harple's avatar

@KhiaKarma oh goodness yes, the next 7 weeks will fly by! Must start packing!!!

downtide's avatar

Congratulations on getting your dream job!

The first people I would tell would be my partner and my daughter.

augustlan's avatar

Congrats!
When I got excellent news recently (was offered the full-time Community Manager job here at Fluther), it was the middle of the freakin’ night! It was all I could do not to wake my husband with the news, but I managed to wait til morning to share it with him. He’s definitely my go-to-guy for stuff like that. :)

Right now, I’m waiting on some health news. Really, any news will be good news, even if it sucks. I’d just like to know wtf is going on with me. Again, he’d be the first to know. Followed by my daughters, my best friend, and Fluther, of course!

@hug_of_war I care. Sincerely. {hugs of love}
