herveusWhen last I wrote on the subject, it looked promising. It got better. I had a face-to-face interview with the PM for the prime that went smoothly. He had wanted another technical person to participate, but he got tied up in actual work and was not able to be present or dial in. The plan was for the tech to call me later to chat. I headed out to deposit checks, and then started toward home. My phone rings.
They didn't wait for the second tech interview; they decided that they wanted me if I'd have the job. I needed to execute a bunch of paperwork, so the question was when I could get in to the office to do so. Conveniently, I was in that neck of the woods, so I turned around and showed right up.
I'm slated to start Monday.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, I got a phone call from a recruiter. She asked if I'd like to make a career change. I explained that I had just accepted and offer, but asked what I would be missing out on. She says Sybase. She says "in DC". I noted that my new job is Sybase, at the Navy Yard. She gasps. I say MSC. She gasps again. She was trying to recruit me for the job I have accepted. Hilarity ensued. We laughed a bunch. It would appear that my (rather rusty) Sybase skills are something of a novelty these days. Whatever. It got me a job that I am looking forward to.
