It looks as though the national nightmare known as me not having a job is almost over.  I’ve been offered a position with a Fortune 500 company that I have accepted.

Yea!

I was offered the position this past Thursday over the telephone, and UPS delivered my welcome packet this morning.

My first day of work will be December 14.

To say I am excited about this is a huge understatement.  As fate would have it, this is actually a much better job than the one I had before.  I wont be working with my hands and the job doesn’t involve electronics.  No soldering, no desoldering, no dealing with burned up circuit boards, and no troubleshooting of tiny surface mount components I cannot even see with the naked eye.

This job involves computers and the Internet.  I’ll be working with people over the telephone.  It still involves troubleshooting, but instead of electronics, it will involve html and php.  It’s something I see myself really enjoying.

I have something to be very thankful about this Thanksgiving.  Not only have I found a job in a time when finding a job is somewhat difficult, I think I’ve landed one that I am really going to enjoy.
