Yay! New Job

Now, for the last couple of months, I have been working as an usher as the local theatre where, lets say, the hourly rate is a little anemic. There are two reasons I took the job:
  1. It got me out of the house, so I didn’t slowly merge into my computer, couch or whatever I most vegged on.

  2. Five visits a month, with four passes per visit (total of 20 tickets per month). Yep, I was able to bribe my kids with passes to the movies when it came time to shovel the driveway.
It’s a fairly easy job, not much thought needed, though it can be a little weary on the feet standing for eight hours.

Whooohooooo!. Yesterday I found out that I have a new engineering job. A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from Jennifer, a recruiter for a consulting company and she recommended I try for a development position at EMC2. After a lengthy interview, a drug screening and a pile of paperwork, I got the job. YAY! I start the new job next Monday and it should be a good gig. It’s a four month contract with a renewal option. Fun fun fun!

Hmmm, perhaps now I’ll be able to get that cable modem and City of Villains….
