Well, it's finally happened. I've put down my camera and taken up the web producing thing again. Yes, a real job. A good thing to announce on Labor Day, right?

I'm going to be working at Chiron in Emeryville. My main project will be first to update and then to redesign the site for Chiron's Blood Testing Division, eBloodBank. The person who previously did this job has been out on leave for 10 months so there's lots of catching up to do. I'll be busy for long time, which I'm thrilled about.

It all happened at warp speed. Last week, on Wednesday, I went into Adecco Technical Staffing in Concord on a whim. The recruiter, Mark, looked at my resume and said, hmm, we have a place at Chiron that might be perfect. I thought it might be perfect too since one of my best friends happens to work there. I filled out all their paperwork and left the office 45 minutes later with the promise of an interview on the horizon. On Thursday, Mark called to ask if I could interview on Friday. On Friday, I went into Chiron at 1pm to meet with my potential supervisor. It must have gone well because by three o'clock I not only had the job, but the pay rate had been bumped up a few bucks. I start on Wednesday.

Next step, finding an a place to live.
