Well, I'm sure many of you remember my "Please Help: Interview Preparation" thread from earlier this week, and may know that I had an interview with a company I'd really like to work for yesterday. Well, today, I'm STOKED to announce that they called me back and made me an offer!!! :) :) :) :) After 8+ months of being unemployed and NOT qualifying for unemployment, I'm thrilled to have a job, both for the challenge of the job and for the money.

In theory, I will get the letter on Friday, and start Monday.

Just wanted to share this information with you, and thank everybody for their help in that thread and good vibes. :)

*happy hop* ;)

Congrats! Glad things worked out for you.

I've been "temping" for the last 4+ months for Midway Games, and next Monday I "officially" start as an employee of Surreal Software (Midway's subsidiary in Seattle). My start date will happily coincide with my birthday - hopefully I can make it in to my 2nd day without a raging hangover...

Yep, congrats on the offer! I also know what it is like to be unemployed without being eligible for unemployment (also because I decided to go back to school), it wasn't pretty ...

This is REALLY funny because it's normally only in "professional" or work settings that I really EVER wear "my hair down." I mean, I usually pull it back into a ponytail or braid (or some modification thereof), but I keep it down for things where I need to be professional (meetings, interviews, presentations, my thesis defense).

That said, I'm just about done Guinness number 1 so I'm definitely celebrating. Thanks all, once again!!! :)
