It's Official

It's official that I'm a lame-o because I have posted in a while... that, or it's official I'm busy because I haven't posted in a while.

Naw, it's official that I received the official offer and officially accepted the position at MI&ES... officially speaking, of course. : )

I begin THIS THURSDAY, July 13. I had to wait two weeks from the time I returned the acceptance form, which was 2 weeks ago this coming Thursday, of course. As part of the position, I need to get a "Top Secret Clearance." What that essentially translates into is a bunch of crap work looking up where I've lived the past 10 years... who I worked for the past 10 years... my family members, their spouses, their cousins, their uncle's cousin's former roommate... etc. And then people who are not my spouse or relatives to vouch for where I've lived / worked, etc. Yea...

But I am excited to start working and use a degree it took me 5 years to get (legitimately--I didn't "squeeze 4 yrs into 5 or anything"). I've kinda missed problem solving--I know, I'm a geek. So be it.

    yes, you didn't squeeze 4 years into 5 like the rest of us shmucks... you must have HAD to have to full 5 years to finish, right? >;) 4 just wasn't enough?

    (sorry, i'm not very polite this morning. and i just may be a little sarcastic.)

    congrats on the job though, i hope it is everything you hope it will be.
