[Ads-l] shocked = 'pleasantly surprised'

[Joel Berson]

"I am a filmmaker and recently graduated from a university. I was shocked when, by a stroke of good luck, hard work and fortunate timing, I managed to get myself booked onto a huge advertising job.  The work was extremely fulfilling, fast-paced and well paid."

"Name Withheld."  NYTimes Sunday Magazine, "The Ethicist," 27/1.
