I Got The Job!!!
Got a call from United Space Alliance today - they gave me the job I interviewed for a few weeks ago!
I didn't accept yet, but I'm leaning that way...heavily. My girlfriend and I just moved into her new house, we literally just finished Monday. Since I got my layoff notice last week and don't have any job prospects locally, I'm tempted to take it. I'm not done with my MS degree either, but I'll either transfer to Rice or finish my thesis out of state.
Oh, man....this is so awesome! It's not every day you get a job working on the space program!
Now....do I go buy a Turbo this weekend to celebrate? I know a certain Rennlister in Central Florida who's selling his!

Woo hoo!
First thing you need to do is accept the job.
Then we have to get you a Greaseslingers T-shirt.
Then we'll have to have the blood initiation and steal you a car coat.... No wait. That was in American Graffitti.
Anyway, looks like it's time to plan a Rennlist Greaseslingers party. And I know just the place. Who want to help me pull my wiring harness? :-)
Congrats BTW. I'm currently on the bread line so I can really appreciate how good it feels to get a job offer.

Welcome to Texas, man. I know it's premature, but it sounds like it's a done deal. Boy, and JUST in time for August, the month when Houston fells like the surface of a gigantic, concrete skillet.
Ditto what George said; gotta get you a Greaseslingers shirt. Who's gonna tell him about the initiation?

I'll throw in the turbo for free (of course that's at asking price).
It's a buyers market here on houses.

...with the severance Lockheed is giving me, I'll have a decent downpayment on a house.
I can't believe this - I get a better job, a promotion AND Lockheed Martin pays me to leave! I love America!
