And so it begins. After 2 unemployed summers, 3 if you don't count my 4-month volunteer unpaid internship as a job, and 3 crummy months of fruitless searching, I finally have a job! And it's even IT, in my field! I'd smile, but I'm afraid my face might collapse!
Now the inevitable downsides are, this is entry-level grunt-work, not highly technical. Plus the hours aren't guaranteed. In 2 weeks so far, I've only clocked 20-30 hours/week.
But it's IT, which means I finally have my foot in the door. Replacing old PC's for new ones means it's probably the one and only time in my IT career that I'll be seen as a good guy. End-users act like its christmas morning upon our arrival. Also it's sweet irony that our current project has me working for the very same company that fired my ass not that long ago
I won't be customer-facing, so no SC stories. But I'm sure I'll have tales of sucky (l)users and co-irkers. In fact one of the people involved with scheduling may be earning his own MiM thread.
So goodbye unemployment hell, and good riddance.
