I Got One!

Today I got and accepted a job offer. It's the second best pay I've ever gotten. (The first best was computer work I got on a short-term contract type basis through a client of Dad's). It's the best benefits package I've seen. It's better hours, and at least not a worse commute.

My boss at the dealership is happy for me (he would never begrudge someone taking a better opportunity--that's one of the things he's cool on), but not happy about how it affects the dealership or him. There are a number of skills I bring them that they just don't have. They're going to have to make changes to adapt to me leaving...

My stomach was in knots since last night when I found out the offer was coming. I didn't know the details. I still didn't until mid-afternoon today. I'm not nervous about taking it. I'm not worried about leaving what I have now. What's to be worried about?

Actually, it'll be a relief. There are still some questions unanswered. They're overnighting me a benefits package. I start Monday November 13. I still don't know what my hours will be. But they'll be Monday through Friday, so they'll be better. :-)
