Welcome to a Geek-world

Got an offer for the position I interviewed for almost 2 wks ago. I've accepted.

I have an interview next Wed am, for a position that sounds as interesting, posting-wise. Given the location, I don't want to pass up - based on my feel from the interview, and how fast they respond (if at all), I'll go from there.

Either position = trekking into DC for a regular job for the first time in 15 yrs of professional work. +15 mins to commute, but the accepted position has some wiggle-room for entry time (so officially, I'll leave it @ 8:30 like I've had for the past 4.5 yrs, but will aim for earlier - which I've been having success on).

I canceled the 3rd interview... would have been contracted to a cool place to be - but the description was NOT something I really wanted to do, and was a contract w/ only guarantee thru Dec 2010. Only reason I even contemplated was that the location = cool possibilities, and getting foot in the door in admin meant working w/ security.

Went well; the position as described sounds like a good match - I'd use what I know, and learn what I don't. Company is very pro-training. Family friendly.

They'll finish interviewing early next week, and hope to have offer & acceptance by next Friday.

We'll see!!

for like the 4th week in a row - we had to power go off for a bit today @ the office... after having a surge earlier in the day...

:p

On good news - got the DMV ban lifted on my car, so I'm re-registered & now won't lose sleep over car being towed while I sleep (unlike last year).

And to click the babies:

Well, this past weekend was interesting.

Sat, took an all-day course to refresh my CPR training, and re-train in 1st Aid. (paid - yay!)

Mon & Tues, took the eighteen f*ing hour course of booooooring for VA Core Class for Unarmed Security Officer.

I passed (needed 70, got 92 - and 2 I missed, I had originally picked the correct answer :p )

So now I'm registered to work anywhere in VA as an USO, for 2 yrs... then it's $20, plus a "4-hour" course - either free through my employer (for 4 hrs), or $50 online - which can be completed as fast as I can do it.

Now if only the security company actually GETS me working more often.
