Offer

Seeing that my current engagement ends in just a few more days, and knowing that this date was coming for the last month, I have been actively searching for a new work situation. I am happy to report that the information technology market seems to be much more active than it was a year ago. The slump following the dot com bubble has well and truly come to an end.

I have had several phone screens, and been submitted numerous times to various requirements. I’ve even had a face to face interview, all of which, in light of the end-of-year holiday season, is an accomplishment of which I am proud. My current client is scrambling to find additional funding to extend the contract, but I fear the extension will come too late for me.

Receiving an offer is a wonderful event, especially before the end of the contract.  That such an offer puts me on the horns of a dilemma is uncomfortable, but there are worse situations to find ones self. Change is good, change is painful, change is the only constant in life. I am ready for change, I just need to find the grace to accept my good fortune.
