Yes, i did say Final!

Yesterday afternoon, i accepted a Help Desk position at John Wood Comm College. Hours will be 12pm – 9pm CST. Since they get a week off for christmas break, my start date isn’t until 1/3/06. That pay is alright for this area, but the benefits are awesome! I finally get health insurance again (first time in 3 yrs). Woohoo…

Actually the afternoon was like this: had a meeting with the VP of Business and Industry (who oversees the the IT Dept). Was shown around the Dept by my manager, and also was shown a couple of server closets. During all of this, they talked like i had already accepted the position, but officially had yet to be offered the job. After i got done with the tour, i went back to HR, and that is when i was offered the job. When i applied, the starting pay was 1x,xxx; then just recently they reposted it at a higher pay. So they offered me the job at the higher pay. No problem with that!

So orientation will be on 1/3/06 from 8am – 5pm, then the next day, i will start with my normal shift. I think i will like it, it will just take a little bit to get use to things, and hopefuly they won’t close down in a year or so like my previous two jobs did. That would suck. A friend told me last night, if they closed up, he would laugh. My reply to him was if they did, i would just forget working for the rest of my life.

So that’s it for now
