kevin why are you dancing quietly
Kevin, why are you dancing?
I GOT THE JOB.
Starting the 15th, I am going to be working three months for Tiny Mantis Entertainment as a general contractor, with the opportunity to negotiate for a full time position at the end of that period. I'm still technically a freelancer, so no health insurance. But I'll be working on site, for real money, for an established (if obscure) developer.
Also, they're offering me twice what I asked for. (In all fairness, the amount I asked for was a pittance--just barely enough to cover living expenses.)
This will be my first rent-paying, five-day-a-week office job in two years.
It will also be my first industry job not paid for in food, rent, or a token sum from a college grant. :]
Then why are you dancing quietly?
I am in my parents' apartment and I don't want to wake the neighbors.
Also I am not wearing shoes.
