got the job

[tielan]

I don't think I've ever gotten a job quite this fast. Send resume in Monday. Interview Wednesday. Job offer on Thursday. Start on Tuesday!

Contract is initially for six weeks, but if I do a decent job, then the project goes to the end of the year and the remuneration is good.

And now the panic button. I have SO MANY THINGS TO DO before I start working full time again! And I have to fit them neatly into the next four days...

There are two basic states of work, in my experience: too much and too little.

Sucks to go directly from one state to the other with no time to prepare, though.

Congrats! Fast turnaround like that is always a bit jolting, but yay! (I once interviewed at a place on Friday and started on Tuesday!) Sending good vibes your way!

Wow! Is this the shortest time between jobs?

[tielan]

Between my putting my resume in and being responded to by the employing company, yes.

Between the last job and this job? Nearly 4 months which may be one of the shortest, although probably not the shortest since there were the 5 years where I was in and out of contracts all the time.

Congratulations! :)

Congratulations! I've never reconciled myself to that feeling when you go from stressedly unemployed to employed, that tiny ridiculous resentment that you're losing all that time you had to do shit in. And you berate yourself for not being more organised but hello, perhaps a bit depressed and anxious due to unemployment, self, give us a break!!

Anyway, great news and all the best for a great workplace that decides you're even more awesome than they first thought.

[tielan]

Oh yes, that's exactly it! One minute you're mopey, the next it's fire the torpedos and full steam ahead!

Ack, I have been bad about reading on DW, so I'm late in the game. But, congrats! Hope you get work for the whole year.
