TGIF

What a fitting title for my sentiments today. My test went well, I felt that I got the work done that I needed to do. My written part of the exam I know I did well on. It's just a relief to have it over with. There has been a new development in my life that I am excited to share. I had begun the process of sending out my resume to different companies in the area, and had yet to hear back from any of them. So on Wednesday night, i see a job opening that I kinda meet the criteria for, and it stated that it was an entry level IT position. I decided to send out my resume to that place, figuring what the hell, it's worth a shot. We fast forward to Wednesday afternoon, and my dad calls me up telling me I got a phone call from the company that I had just sent my resume the night before to. I go home, call them back, and to my shock they ask me to come down for an interview that afternoon if I was available. I say yes, and I go down to the company.

To make a long story short, I go through the interview and the company likes me, and they offer me the position. I will be an IT Analyst for this company and I begin Monday. Now I still attend my computer school, and have one month left, so instead of going to class in the morning, I will now attend evening classes for the last month. So basically my day for the next month will be from 9 to 5 for work, 6-10 pm for class. That should be fun! I will be learning new programs, including SQL and MS Access that I've never worked with before, and I look forward to the challenge that is presented to me now. I will enjoy my last bit of time this weekend before the madness begins, and hopefully I come out of this alive......;-)
