complich8’s journal

Back around the end of July, I interviewed with this company in DC, arranged by another DC-area company that they subcontract some things to. And they offered me a job, and I accepted and moved to the DC metro area, rooming with some friends from Purdue.

And I started to wait.

See, the job required a basic level of security clearance, called “public trust”. Which they say normally takes a month to do.

So all through August, I waited. And waited. And waited. And burned through money, and waited. And waited. And waited. It was … well … really, a lot of waiting.

I played video games a lot. I got myself settled and situated. I figured out how to get around Rockville. I watched anime, and movies. I got used to the mass transit systems … to Metro Center station, to Rockville station, to Rosslyn station. And still with the waiting.

Well, I’m finally done waiting. I got a call around … 13 hours ago now, saying in essence “you’re starting Tuesday, cool?”

My job’s finally starting! WOOO!

That is all.
