I bet there aren’t very many other people out there who have turned in a resignation letter at their job the day they went to pick up a new car. Well, I’ve just done the resignation letter, and I pick up the car in a few hours.
Update I forgot to mention: as well as the offer from Global Crossing, I have another offer from Paychex. The Paychex one surprised me, because I’d only had a phone interview with them and I’m not used to getting a real offer without having a chance to meet people face to face, look around the facilities, etc. Because I was expecting it to lead to a face to face interview instead of an offer, I didn’t ask enough detailed questions about unimportant things like “where are you located?” and “what will I be doing?”
Full speed ahead and good luck.
Congratulations, I think.
Well, it’s kind of cool to resign from one job, consider two other pretty solid offers for new jobs AND pick up your new car all in one day.
The planets must be in alignment.
I worked at Paychex for a couple of years in the 90’s… I was generally happy with them and the company culture, though they were way, way too conservative in terms of the technology they were willing to use. Perhaps that’s changed, but I’d suggest getting more details from them. And buy a bunch of suits. 😉
I’ll go you one better.
I signed a loan for a 3 acre block of land the day I got retrenched.
(We later sold it for almost three times what we paid, and I landed a better job a few months later, but even so…)
I’m terribly way behind, so just read this — congratulations on the two job offers, and on the new car.
