I have made this [blog] longer, because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

I got the job!

I GOT THE JOB! I GOT THE JOB! I GOT THE JOB!!! I'm really excited! Here's the scoop: the company makes healthcare software - like what your doctor uses to make appointments, to check your chart, and to bill your insurance. It sounds boring, I'm sure. But the company is like a grown-up IMSA! It's only been around since 1979 and its nearly entirely composed of nerds. I mean, they celebrate Pi day, c'mon. Let me highlight some of the benefits:
They believe you are most productive when you are comfortable. You define "comfortable" for yourself: jeans and sandals, business suit, etc.
There are fireplaces and plenty of artwork. For snacking, coffee, tea, cocoa, milk, fruit juice, mineral water, and microwave popcorn are free. At lunchtime, they pay the delivery charges for orders from area restaurants. And they welcome pets on weekends.
They offer many social activities, including an annual anniversary dinner and a company picnic (steak and lobster on paper plates, I hear). Employees receive fine chocolates on Valentine's Day and their birthdays. They also offer a Halloween contest, a Choca-holic Challenge, and a Pi(e) Party. They also sponsor employee sports teams.
They also make an annual donation on your behalf to a charity of your choice.
If you wish to purchase a home computer, they offer interest-free loans.
Anyways, I went out and interviewed Tuesday and they called me today to make the offer. Plus, Rich is refrring me to his apartment complex, so everything is working out perfectly! I think it's time to call grandma with the good news!
