Recruited.
Despite my last venomous post, I was successfully hired at a company thanks to a recruiter.
I find myself still feeling all of my dislike, but also glad and relieved that it worked out. Oh well, best not to dwell on it too much.
I will say, that another funny thing about the recruiter is that they insisted on walking me in the first day. Like I was going to my first day of school. When they told me that this was happening I half-way expected a lot of advice like, “Now be sure to lay a clean set of clothes out the night before,” and, “Be polite to the new people you meet,” and, “If you feel bad, go see the nurse.”
Anyway, aside from that the new job is pretty good so far and I’m adjusting pretty well to the differences. Though I have to say I’m not adjusting well to using a PC again. I keep screwing up simple things like copying and pasting, using expose shortcuts, trying to spotlight, and wishing I had my software development tools.
Good news is that I get to sit next to a avid beer maker, so amazing things are going to happen.
