Permanent employment is a wonderful thing
Guys, you will remember last year when Cingular Wireless (piss be upon them) dropped the axe on what was a promising career for me.
Since the tail end of November, I've been working as a contractor for a no-it-will-not-be-named company (yes, Cianderella Tierney, the no-he-really-doesn't-work-at-EDS chickenshit, still reads this blog and tries to hack into the comments on occasion, and I'll not give him the chance to try and get me fired before I'm ready), doing the PC-techie thing.
That will end on April 5th. On April 6th, I will begin yet another PC-techie-type position - this one being a temp-to-hire gig paying very nearly what I was making at Cingular to start, with a negotiable conversion rate (IOW, when I'm hired on three months hence, I get to negotiate my starting salary. Schweet).
Thanks to all y'all (yes, the plural of "y'all" is "all y'all" (grin)) for your prayers during the last five months or so. They've really been appreciated.
