Target destroyed, Captain
Ok, so maybe that wasn't the best metaphor after all, but it turns out I got the job. I just got the offer sheet via email. Wheeeeee.
And just for the record, it's easier to impress a technical writer with a 32 page employment contract when said technical writer doesn't find at least 10 typos in it without even looking that hard. I mean, if you're going to pay a battery of lawyers to come up with something that has that much legalese, is it too much to expect them to invest a little of that money in editing? I didn't think so.
Not that it matters since I'll sign it anyway. Just thought it was funny.
As I said, the start date is March 16th. So at that time I can start switching my schedule over to something resembling sanity. Once sanity has been acquired, I can start writing regularly again. Along with all the other things I want to do regularly again. We'll see how much time I am actually able to schedule for writing.
I'm thinking I might be able to do some during my lunch hour at work, but we'll see how that goes.
