Erich hates his current job situation. We've desperately been trying to find him a new job. I finally gave into him going to a temp agency. I was worried about the whole "temporary" thing and not having benefits.
Well he went this morning. They LOVED him. Had four or five different openings that were perfect for him. The one they really want for him is some sort of excel + consulting job. Erich is an excel genius. Seriously. He has mad excel skills. It's at least a $3 on the hour raise with a 1-2 year contract with possibility of full time and comes with a FULL BENEFIT package. I'm elated. He seems to feel like it's a good situation. He goes back tomorrow morning for a more in depth excel test. Then he has to be interviewed by the hiring manager and he's in. You should have heard him on the phone, he was *so* excited. And I'm excited for him.
And get this. The job has 30% travel to places like San Antonio and Boston. There's a chance that we could go with him on these trips. Wow. So exciting. I'm really trying not to count my chickens before they hatch.
