I have a job finally!
I think I am still in shock. I had an interview last Friday at 10.30 am, and by 3.10 pm I knew I had got it. They had a background check to do, and first thing Monday am was an email saying, as expected, all was good. But the Accounts manager of the agency I am with said she had never known a Background check to be so fast. I reckon I am top of the pile right now because one of the house mates is joining the Navy on Wednesday - goes to Boot Camp - to be a cryptographer and he was worried I'd affect his Clearance as I haven't yet been able to afford the Citizenship fee.
I seem to live live backwards. Got a hippy Afghan coat back in 1980 long after it was out of style. Moved to California in 2004 long after it was the place to be for my generation. Now, well, let's say I have the Dream Job of every 19 year old geek or nerd, and me too, I have to say, - Game Master, with SOE Games! OK it is for 2 kiddy games, but hey, who cars, right? It's money, and more than minimum wages either.
It's full time, a 1pm to 10 pm shift with an hour unpaid lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. Not ideal, but it could lead to a better shift. No weekends either, just Notional ones mid week. I start training 9-6 on Monday for a week. They were most interested in my writing, so maybe they have me pegged for something else within the company, maybe a non-agency post and one with them... we'll see.
