Oh my god. I am like… Shaking right now. I am stunned, confused, stupified, excited beyond belief. I was offered basically my dream job this morning. I start with one month of training and onboarding and all that fun stuff on the 29th of October, and yea.
It is basically a full stack engineering job. It will be my job, as part of a team, to create the front and back end of data analytics platforms, data extraction and analysis tools, and do some data modelling and such. The stack is interesting. JavaScript, C#, Python, and some umm… IBM mainframe data formats, that will be oh so fun to learn about I’m sure lol.
But this is my first real job with a large organisation that pays well, offers full benefits, potentially flex hours and tuition funding, and is routinely ranked among the best employers in Canada.
I don’t know what to think. I’ve struggled through crappy jobs and layoffs for the last couple years, amd finally I’ve gotten a job that does not seem like it will be utterly soul sucking and abusive. Like even though I took my concerta today, I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been living below the poverty line for a decade now, and it appears that will soon be over. My cat is going to get pet insurance. I can think about buying a car, moving to a one bedroom apartment in non-subsidized housing.
I bought myself a electric toothbrush for 23 dollars. Which… Okay maybe that’s not a impulse buy, even though it was an impulse buy? I mean my dentist will be very pleased.
Of course you/we/weall do sometimes. It’s just something to keep a check on.
