Woohoo! Happy Dance!

[Veronica]

Thom got the job offer we had been hoping for at the Federal Reserve. It's a good career move for him, doing some interesting technological stuff. The benefits are great! Since it's a government job we'll have a lot more holidays in common too.

In fact was this one of the things I had wanted for Christmas! :)

Welcome Thom to the Federal Gang! :cool:

[jobob]

Excellent !!!

[maillotpois]

Great! Merry Christmas!

Is that in SF?

[sbctwin]

Congratulations Thom and Veronica (since it is just as much good news for you too). I was laid off several years ago and being unemployed SUCKS!!!! At least it did for me. My DH was very supportive, but it was a major blow to my already dragging self-esteem....

Hey, that's great news, Veronica. Dance, girl, dance!!!

[snapdragen]

Yay! Welcome to guv'mint work Thom!

[Flybye]

The fact that he held on through the whole hiring process to the end deserves congratulations alone, from what I understand!!
Our friend applied for a government job and he had to jump through so many hoops to get the job. The feds stopped just short of asking for semen samples and giving up his first-born!
What great news to get right before Christmas!
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful news! Congratulations to him.

Woohoo! Congratulations! But what happened to Hornblower?

[Veronica]

Hornblower was a good, but the benefits weren't great. The job was maybe a little bit of a step backward.

Yep, MP, he'll be working in the city. :rolleyes:

Woo Hoo!!!! Happy for you both. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/Smilies/clap.gifhttp://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/Smilies/clap.gifhttp://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/Smilies/clap.gif

Start date is Jan. 7. We hope we can finish the floors before then. :rolleyes:

He can take BART (rapid transit) and there is lots of motorcycle parking in the financial district, so he'll probably do a mixture.

is working in central SF a good thing??

C

YES!! I wouldn't want to live in SF, but I really miss working there.

From what I recall,the Reserve is near Sansome Street, close to my old office. (Sigh.)

So what's he actually doing for them?

[Veronica]

He'll be the IT consultant for the Bank Examiners.
