Tenative optimism

Well, I'm doing my best to only be mildly ecstatic.

I was snoozing on the sofa when my cell phone rang. Thanks to the technology that allows the setting of ringtones for different groups, I recognized the ring as that for the technical recruiter I'd been dealing with for the past four months on trying to get on an assignment.

Oh... did I forget to mention that I'd interviewed back in early October for a position in pre-sales support? Then got stalled by a hiring freeze and re-interviewed for the job a month ago?

Well, this morning I was told that pending results of a drug screening and background check, I should be starting my first full time paying job since May of 2001 on February 21, 2005.
