Outside Context: I AM JOB

Thursday, November 16, 2006

'nuff said. Got an offer today from my first-choice company. Very very good stuff. I'll be starting in a few weeks.

The new company doesn't know that I was laid off from my old company, so it'll probably be at least two weeks (since I have to give "two weeks' notice" even though I'm not working currently.) I'm thinking probably about three weeks... second week of December probably.

Congratulations!

You should be able to find some great deals right now. The housing market is bone dry around the holidays because everyone is busy being good corporate consumers and there's no money left to buy/lease something expensive like an apt.

Anyway, good job not living off the backs of tax payers.

I'm now thinking maybe I can be moved by January 1, using some of my severance and unemployment money to pay for movers and my lease cancellation. Rock on!
