Rigil Kent wrote:Happy, awesome news relating to my employment. A surprise opportunity came my way this week (as in on Wednesday, it was "Send me your resume" and Thursday it was "can you come in tomorrow for an interview?" which culminated in said interview a couple of hours ago.)

Result? I've got a new job. Project manager at a software development company. Basically, I'm going to be coordinating various projects, dealing with the customers, and ultimately writing the tech manuals for our software. No pay increase immediately - although honestly? I'm starting off making exactly the same I make now with a planned increase in 90 days, as opposed to the 6 months or more raise schedule I have at my current company - but the hours are normal, I have weekends off, and the work environment just freaking rules. (The boss has all sorts of Star Wars stuff in his office.) Truthfully, the entire interview felt like a formality, as if the boss had already decided to hire me and was just going through the motions (which makes one feel fricking awesome, BTW.)

So yeah ... verra excited. :)


Give 'em hell man :) :thumbsup:

Let's hope your new boss is an old school Star Wars fan, Rigil, lest you get into a prequel argument with him! ;-)
She's got an awfully nice bum!

What's the point in fighting about it?

I just hope that they love Rigil so much they give him a big, big raise.

If you were referring to the fact I sometimes inadvertantly get poor Rigil displeased with me, well... I'm a difficult person by nature. If you were trying to say something not quite so innocent, well...Shame on you Boss! To quote queen Victoria we are not amused. In fact I am very embarrassed. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

In any case... I only wanted to show some kindness and wish Rigil well in his new good fortune. I'm not a complete harpy.

*shakes head* We all know what you meant, WG. It's not your fault that some people have minds that tend to circle the gutter. Or live in it. One of the two.

That being said... :guffaw:
