I've been offered a job!

As any and all who have read my LJ over the last several months will recognize, I have not been happy at my job for quite some time. I've been interviewing at several places lately. I had a very good prospect of a job at the beach, but things have lingered and while they're more than willing to offer me a job in their Tampa office, they are a bit more hesitant to offer one in Destin since the work in that office is a bit outside my field of experience (though not of interest).

So, while on hold on that one, I've been interviewing other places. I interviewed at a local firm yesterday and they just offered me the job tonight. The salary isn't quite as high as I had wished, but it's still a very nice raise over what I have now. And they have a nice work schedule of giving every other Friday off.

Anyway, it's looking like I'll be turning in my resignation tomorrow (and the ONLY regret that I have is that I have several friends in the office. Screw the management. ) With my firm being the way they have been, it's quite likely that they won't want me to work out my notice (not that I would mind NOT working it. In fact, just tell me to go. I'd love it. Actually, the worse scenario is that I would have to work the resignation).

Anyway, while I'll contact the Destin firm in the morning, unless they counter offer I'm taking this job in B'ham and saying good riddance to the work hell I'm in now. (And now I have to figure out how to write a letter of resignation).

So, good news. I've escaped!
