I started my new job today.
Hey, all it took was 360 days. :)
I've been slated to start it for about a week-and-a-half now. It's just that I've been so close before and ended up left holding the bag, that I didn't want to say anything until I was in the door, sitting down, and at my station.
As of today, I am.
It's doing customer service for an extremely large software company on the Eastside, while not even being an employee. So I'm a temp. But then, as poet Richard Kenney pointed out in the P-I this weekend, so's the President. {shrug}
Still, it's a one-year contract, and appears to have lots of growth potential. My current host, Alan Rosenthal, started out at exactly the same company under exactly the same conditions and exactly the same position... and he's fairly well off now, with a house in Broadview and all.
Now for step two... which I may feel confident enough to post about as early as Friday, if the pieces fall together the right way.
Three cheers, and all that.
