No more temping.

The Friday before last I was asked to attend a meeting. The meeting was about me.

The head of the department said, "We're starting our third week with you on Monday and I'm hearing all good things. I'm told you're picking things up real fast and we've decided we want you on our team. We would like to offer you the job. If you except, we can get things started so that you can start as soon as your 4 weeks are up with the temp agency."

We talked wages and came to a wage we could both live with.

Corporate America being what it is; I had to apply online, then they had to offer me the job, then I had to submit an acceptance letter and sign a million papers. Then came the background check and I will have to do a drug test on Monday. BUT, I HAVE A JOB!

It's a large marketing corporation with branches all over the country. Since it's publicly traded, I had to sign a confidentiality agreement so I won't mention the name of the company. I start with 10 vacation days and 5 sick days on day one. I can enroll in the 401K on Monday when I go for orientation. They match the first 3% at 100% and the next 2% at 50% and they add profit sharing into the 401K at the end of the year.

My medical will start on Oct 1st. I have a choice of PPO, HMO and a couple other options with dental and vision. I will know more on Monday in orientation. I will have life insurance equal to one year salary.

That’s it for now, I’m off to celebrate!
