Job Update

Huh. The DoD thing is different that what they told me in the interview. They're going to have me doing User Acceptance Testing and Documentation of the new software system instead of direct help desk. This makes this position much more appealing.

Oddly, due to the high price of gas it is cheaper to take a $3 each way bus and a $1.80 each way metro ride to work as opposed to driving. I never would've thought it'd be possible for Metro to be cheaper. But there it is. As of tomorrow, i will be taking the Fairfax Connector 989 from Reston to Pentagon City, and then the yellow line to Eisenhower Ave, which is conveniently next to the building.

hey - glad the position is better then advertised. Usually the bait and switch thing goes the other way. :)

If you include the price of parking in DC, metro was much cheaper for me until last November.

Glad to hear the job is working out for the best.

Thanks. Took long enough. :) Though, really, i only started looking in middle-June, so the length issue is really my problem, rather than the market's.

User acceptance testing and documentation??
Do they need anybody else?

I don't think they need anyone else at the moment. Plus, those tasks, though they please me very much, are different from what i interviewed for. I interviewed for helpdesk.

out of curiousity....
