And I’m pretty darned happy about it.
The same contract that had ended flipped at the beginning of 2008 into full-time employment. What I hadn’t reported: as my contract was ending, the person I reported to asked why I hadn’t indicated my interest in the position. At some point in this discussion, I confirmed that I would had been interested in the full-time position.
When the person unexpectedly left the company, I took the position.
I have some mixed emotions about jumping back into the corporate world (and a California company at that – I love California, but don’t love the differing time zones). But I really am happy to be employed, at a place I know, with health benefits.
I intend to keep up this blog, though, because something fundamental has changed in how I look at things. I don’t want to lose that.
