Just before 8AM today I received a phone call. Company X would like to offer me a position at the salary I requested to begin work ASAP. At worst, I’ll spend two more weeks wading through this quicksand before setting up shop across town with the cool, well-paid kids. Nothing will rain on my parade today.

The weekend was uneventful. I reallocated my budget, downloaded and reconciled 180 bank transactions and bought some new plants. You want this exotic life.

Folks seem to be excited for me, however I do have to put in my full two weeks. They’re determined to squeeze every last bit of knowledge from me they can. I’ll do my best, of course. My diary may come to a screeching halt, as I expect to spend the majority of my next job actually working. The sacrifices we make for fun work and a fat pay check.
