Yep. As of 8:30am Monday morning I return to the mass of "working stiffs".

The TV company offered me the job at $1,000.00/year more than I had asked as my minimum starting.

On top of that I get 10 holidays (the standard 6 plus 4 Muslim ones) and I can negotiate to work one of the Muslim ones to have the day after Thanksgiving off.

Also, after 6 months I get a week of vacation and another week after I've been there a year. So yes, boys and girls, it means I can go to Pennsic this year!

Basically the interview I had today was to assure them that I am not the totally sweet and quiet girl that they thought I was. I had to promise the CEO that yes, I would stand up to him when he got crabby and rude and not let everyone push me around. I think what cinched it was telling him I help run security for a 13,000 person international camping convention.

I also has to promise that I would not up and quit after 6 months due to finding something closer to home (it's a good 30 minute commute from Amherst to Orchard Park).

Not only will I be doing admin stuff but will eventually be learning about high end sales, website stuff and TV production.

I think this will be a good match for me.

Thank you to all who wished me well and luck and supported me through the last several months. I could not have done it without you.

Oh hooray! It sounds like a very good fit for you! As for the commute, it's not as great as 5 minutes, but if you set yourself up wiht a travel mug of nice coffee or tea and some good music a commute can be a relaxing pleasure.

congrats. It sounds good, especially since you get to attend Pennsic. :)

I always like jobs, where I get to learn more, as I'm working. It makes me feel like I'm exercising my brain a bit. :)

I was very happy to read this. :)
