It's a state job at a health research university, so they offer free health insurance which goes into effect immediately, a pension plan, all federal holidays off, a 5 minute commute and I don't even have to pay for parking.

I start Monday.

Got hired!!

Got my pick of departments.  It's a state job at a health research university, so they offer free health insurance which goes into effect immediately, a pension plan, all federal holidays off, a 5 minute commute and I don't even have to pay for parking. Took a big hit in salary $8000 per year cut, but nothing's perfect.  I start Monday.

 :D :D  Awesome news!   I'm very happy for you.  Nope, no such thing as perfect, but the benefits and the five-minute commute and the free parking might take some sting out of the salary cut.  Congrats!

Yeehaw! Congratulations! Wonderful news!  :D

That five minute commute will be a wonderful time-saver! You can sleep later and still be to work on time!  ;D
