Back to the land of the working

I got an email from my contact at Volt on Wednesday nite that the company I had interviewed at twice was ready to extend an offer to me for the contract position with possible extension. She called me yesterday afternoon to fill me in on the details. I accepted. I start on Monday.

Next week sounds like it’s going to be a getting up to speed type of thing … not a full 40 hours. There are 2 training sessions that I’ll be going to on Monday … the first starting at 1pm. Then it sounds like there will be meetings and other getting set up type stuff the rest of the week. I won’t know the details on things until Monday.

You don’t know how relieved I am. I’ll be getting a paycheck again (and I’ll be paid weekly … about the same amount as my last position too). I’ll be getting out of my apartment. I don’t have to move. And I get to keep working in web development/programming.

This position may last only 3 months or it may end up being permanent. It just depends on how much work the company has at the end of the 3 month contract and how much I’ve impressed them during those 3 months.

So things are starting to look up again … at least for the next 3 months. I’ll be able to enjoy Christmas. I need to start my Christmas baking and write up my Christmas cards and do Christmas shopping. Hopefully this will bring my mood back up to a ‘normal’ level for a long period of time. I sure hope so.
