Might be losing my job soon.

Hey so, for those of you not following my other DOWNER thread, it looks like I may have secured a 6-month contract position close to where I work writing front- and back-end point-of-sale systems, with the possibility of hire at the end and a significant pay increase.

So it may have been that this change was for the best after all And also, proof that I don't just whine all the time.

Hey, hey! That's terrific!

Congrats and I'll raise one in honor of silver linings on your behalf!!

The contract is a sure thing now. I have it in hand, I just have to hear back from my lawyer and get some of the more restrictive language toned down a bit. I had a tour of the place today and I start Monday.

Also looks like I'm gonna be putting in long weeks because I'm being hired to replace an Indian dude who didn't know what he was doing, they're supposed to be halfway through phase 1 of the project, and they want a deployable system in THREE MONTHS.

The upshot of that is, more hours, more money because I'm a CONTRACTOR, *******.

Congrats on the contract Brownie. Hope all is well in the other thread as well.

Really I lucked out on the skillset. Apparently someone who knows how to write C++ and has prior experience on Point-of-Sale systems is a tough combo to find.
