Another opportunity popped up for more money and closer to home, but it wasn't a for sure deal, so I did the right thing and went with the bird in hand. It's funny, but the recruiter that got me the job did so in three days from inception to closure. Not bad for either of us. I submitted my resume to his company a couple weeks ago with no response, so I called the main line and asked to speak with a technical recruiter. Joel answered the phone and looked at my resume, hung up, and called me a couple hours later. We met the next day, and the next day I had an interview, and the next, today, I had the job. That has to be a record.
I put off my start date until next monday, as in a week from this monday. I'm spending some quality time with my family. No job searching, no working, just play.
Emmett, my two year old, is beside me learning how to click on a mouse on Playhouse Disney. He'll be a great programmer some day.

You are the man! Congratulations, Scott! You never panicked. God, I admire that!
Congrats, Scott! What a great week you're going to have.
I can't stand the whole job search thing - all the uncertainty of it and decisions to make - I'm so glad that is over for you.
When you're done at PlayHouse Disney try NickJr.com or PBSkids, or UpToTen. LOL :)
The decisions behind you so its onward. Have a great week with the kids. Oh, and don't worry about them - you're different from my dad anyway. His generation believed that raising the kids was the mother's job, so he didn't have a lot to do with me anyway.
Congratulations! Wow, that took no time at all by today's job market standards. You should be proud that someone snatched you up so quickly.
kids playing on the computer is so cute and a little creepy.
the most annoying kid's site is NickJr. Go there--you'll soon agree.
Hot damn!!! Congratulations, Scott. I know this is a load off your mind. :-)
