At long last, I found a job for me. On Monday morning I got a call to come interview for a job and like all requests for interviews, I took it. It ended up being a web development position at a law firm in downtown Orlando and both I and the employer really seemed to hit it off. The job offered me a position developing sites using Drupal along with the full time pay I was looking for. Yesterday I got a phone call with an offer and I gladly accepted it and am glad to be finally employed once more (starting Monday).

Technically I was unemployed for 2 weeks and I'm grateful I was able to get a good job like this in short time. It kind of feels weird not looking at the job sites for jobs but I'm glad that I can finally stop worrying about the future and money.

The funny thing to come out of all of this is I have three other offers on the table for part time work. I interviewed for a position this past Friday and it would have been a perfect fit but the company can't afford to hire me full time for the long haul. They offered me some part time work and the company I was employed with that I was doing contract work offered for me to continue to do some work on the side. And finally, I have an interview on Friday with a local university here for a teaching position. I'm going to have to mull over the possibility of doing work on the side for extra cash while the teaching job really intrigues me and if I can do some evening/weekend classes, I'd be all about that.

I hope this new job will allow me to spend some time here and really get to be in one place for a long time. I'm done with hopping around from job to job every year and I'm ready for a commitment with one place where I can really establish myself and I think this new place could be that place.
