brightbluegirlI got the jooooob.
I got the JOOOOOOBBBB.
I got the job.
*job dance*
Booyah.
*HAPPY job dance*
It's a 5 month contract at $25/hour. The woman expressed understanding that that is less than I am worth, but she has her hands tied because this contract is old, and was started just after 9/11, when money was being kept under mattresses. However, she also said they have an informal agreement with the client for 6 more months after that, and so I have an informal agreement with her for 6 months after my contract expires, and in January we will talk about more money, because they are now trying to get better rates with the client for those 6 months anyway.
ooooh yeah.
Sweet, sweet relief.
My friend Dete in Vancouver told me to say I'd think about it, so the QA Manager at his company could talk to me, but I'm not fucking this up, no fucking way. I will be responding favourably to this woman on Wednesday, unless this QA Manager guy calls me asap with an offer. I emailed Dete to (politely) tell him so.
I'm off to make wasabi crumbed fish and stir-fried swiss chard with Andrew, for dinner.
YEAH!
