Got the job got the job whee!

Got a call from Arnie at ADIC, saying that the final paperwork had been signed, and they could offer me the job!* Huzzah! He then explained how the salary** and some of the benefits worked, and we talked about some related stuff. Of course, I accepted, and HR will FedEx me the hardcopy of the offer package by tomorrow or Friday, and I should be starting Tuesday!

First person to know was Christine (by IM), then my mom (by phone), who handed the phone to dad, IMed Shauna, and called Steph. :D

I invited Christine to have celebratory dinner with me, but she'd just agreed to dinner with Erika, so I'll be joining them for drinks at Galaxy Hut in Arlington around 20. =)

Huzzah!


* I'll be a Field Service Engineer, dealing with configuration and troubleshooting of large data storage networks in gov't and private facilities around the DC area. There'll be some training in Colorado, too.
** 80% base salary + 20% commission. Commission is based on regional sales/support quota performance, and generally runs 70-80% of the 20% mark, but occasionally breaks 100%

Galaxy Hut!

Sounds like some weird kind of space bar or store, doesn't it? Actually, it's just a little hole-in-the-wall pub in Arlington/Clarendon, cozy, with a good selection of beers on tap. :)

So, I met Christine and Erika at Galaxy Hut shortly before 20--I was early!--and hung out at a table out in their light-festooned alley patio for an hour and a half or so. Over a few drinks, I got to tell all about my new job, Erika told us all about how she met a guy in a band at TT Reynolds recently, and Christine told us all about goings-on at her job, projects and hiring and local coworkers and cross-country coworkers. Then I drove Christine home, so she didn't have to take the Metro for an hour, and headed home myself.
