Game Over

On Monday night, I came home to a voice mail message from Priority Publications, the company I had a second interview with on Monday. It said something about "taking the next step," which could only mean one thing. Right? Well, after trying to call the woman at Priority a few times, I finally got a hold of her, and found out the truth.

Which....

Of course....

Was that, I got the job! Whooooahhh! I will be starting my position as Web Programmer on Tuesday, September 4th (the day after Labor Day), thus ending my stay at FLS Connect on Friday, August 31. It is bittersweet, as I really do like this job, the company, and my coworkers, but I feel that it is simply time to move on to bigger and better things, to a position that has more job growth (and that 20.48% raise in my salary is helpful as well). I am rather excited for this opportunity. It is near Edina, approximately 25 miles from our apartment, and will probably usually take me between 25-30 minutes to get to work, depending on traffic.

My schedule will be slightly more flexible. They would like you there during the company's core hours of 9-3, but besides that, they just want you to put in your 40 hours. In that case, I'll probably usually work 7-3, but we'll see.

I do find it a little odd that, if I had gotten this job a couple months ago, my daily commute would have possibly included the now-collapsed 35W bridge. Ah, well, maybe it was good that I didn't get a new job so soon. :)
