Best Valentine's Day Ever

| | Comments (4)

So yesterday was, of course, Valentine's Day. This year Jen and I went to a place here in town called Zoot--one of those places where the servings are small and they have a designated waiter just to bring you pieces of bread. ;) We had a lot to celebrate this year; I hadn't planned it that way, but yesterday I got the last of 3 and a half* job offers, and it was a doozy. So I'm changing jobs, to one with no travel, no long hours, more time off, and a much better salary. I'm really excited to start working with these guys; my interview was great, I really felt like I would fit in well there. They seem like a company that puts a lot of emphasis on treating their employees well; they told me that pretty much everyone they hire is either there for a very long time, or gone almost immediately because they hold their employees to very high standards. I'm not afraid of high standards as long as I'm taken care of. :)

So Jenny put on this very nice new dress, in which she looked totally hot, and I put on my very nice new suit, and we had a wonderful evening. The presents this year were great too; I got a Creative Zen Touch (which I've been wanting since approximately forever; I figure I'll use it for a month and post a review, though from what I've read and my 4 hours of use so far they're nice devices ;) ) as a "congrats" present, and some very nice shaving products and the Band of Brothers DVD set as actual Valentine's Day gifts, so on top of the job thing I'm on about cloud twelve. :)

* Oh, the half offer was because a company I had talked to a while ago randomly e-mailed me to see if I was interested in a job. It's flattering to know I made that much of an impression. :)

Congrats! No travel.. man, oh man am I jealous. i'll be looking for new jobs myself in a month or so, after I get back from Japan (rough, I know). Just another job in the same company.. it's easier that way!

Do your cats even recognize you any more? :) Where in the company are you looking, anything cool? Hopefully Japan is fun, though.
