Well, I said I’d post more and so here I am… I’ll be starting my position as a Project Engineer at Modular Mining Systems on Monday, March 6th. As I indicated in my last post, this really seems like it’s going to work out perfectly. I’ve been working in Phoenix for the past week at Adjoined Consulting and will be here for the rest of this week too. They offered me a position a couple weeks ago but then a week later when I told them I was willing to accept it, they said they couldn’t because they were being purchased by another company (and yes, I believe them. Their hands really are tied…).
Anyway, they REALLY needed a project to be completed by the 1st of March though and so brought me on as a contractor last week (starting 20 February, 2006) and scheduled me to work through the end of this week (3 March, 2006). So, I’m getting the project done that they had to have done and then will be starting at Modular the next Monday. So yeah, works out almost perfectly. And since I’m staying in Tucson, I’ll be saving about $6,000 per year in housing and utilities. So that’ll be very good. Plus I will get to stay near the friends I have and the Churches that I like.
The only bad thing at all is that Adjoined doesn’t get to hire me and will have to look for someone else, but I guess that’s the way it goes. It’s rare that everybody is 100% happy, so I’ll just have to accept that for what it is and not feel like I’m letting them down (which I have a tendency to do).
Good news all around though so yeah. Happy times!
