First Day
For a change, I have something to write about, and it is something wonderful.
I started a new job today, the first full-time, permanent position I've gotten in over 10 years.
Now, it isn't as wonderful as it could be, since I'm trying to get over a cold, but it does look promising.
For those of you who I haven't spoken to since the good news arrived, I am now working for Tripp-Lite, a company that has been around for over 80 years, where I will be a product support rep. Now, that's just a fancy way to say customer service, but it will require some technical skill (which I either already have or can learn fairly quickly). The pay is decent, the hours are realistic (no late days, no weekends), and they even have a shuttle from the train station to their office that they pay for (for those who may not know, I live in the suburbs of Chicago, the far western suburb of Aurora, so the commuter train is the simplest way to get to this job, which is within sign of the White Sox ballpark).
Yes, I'm happy. This could be exactly what I've been looking for. More as things develop.
