Finally. As I'm clicking "post" on the last entry, the phone rang, and I recognized the trunk number of the casino.
I have a job offer. It is a salaried offer. Insurance starts day one. All the typical waiting periods for 401, etc.
Focusing on the positive, it is a nice salary. It's not fantastic, I've been paid higher. Knowing that the little gremlin would gnaw at me, I immediately called a close confidant in the industry who put it to me honestly. "You've been out of the work force six months, you've been out of that region for over a year. These people don't know you, but they want you, they need you. They're paying you a fine salary. Remember it, and if you forget it, call me and I'll tell you again."
So I'm quite happy. ish. The lady said she was going to ask for a variance on the waiting period to begin work, it's usually a 2 week delay with paperwork. She's going to try and rush it through so I start next week. I told her I'd be available.
So there we have it. No more boring posts about me needing a job.
