Hi Shasta!  Hi Penthesilia!  The job is going good.  There's lots to do, which makes the day go by faster.  Things are falling into place there little by little and it sort of feels like I never left there.  I took a cut in pay to get the job, but at least I have a job now.  I'll just have to watch my spending real carefully now.

congrats, Dobie!

Today was my last day on the ridiculously abbreviated contract with a former customer of mine - what a cl*ster f*ck that was!  In my desperation to find a new contract as soon as possible, I footed the bill to take an interview in Minneapolis on the 5th of June and was offered the job the next day.  The past three weeks or so have been the extensive and excruciating paperwork for the background checks.

Which I still haven't got confirmation that they are done, but the account manager said to come ahead anyway.  Start date is July 1, but I won't know if I'm actually starting on July 1 till maybe... Monday, but I'm packing up and if the thunderstorm forecast isn't too severe I'll be heading out mid-morning tomorrow for my next 6-month gig.  If not... then I stay in the Can Club!

Thanks gang,

I'm not in Minnesota, I got the official go-ahead for my official first day of work, and we'll see how long
THIS ONE lasts!

And I think Delalluvia is around here somewhere and just got her pink slip, so welcome Delalluvia to the Can Club, which is getting bigger by the day!

louise, you said you're not in Minnesota - did you mean to put you're now in Minnesota?  Do you start on July 1st?  Good luck to you wherever you are!  I hope you're there for a long time!
