Job offer

I received a job offer on Friday from the place where I reported having an interview earlier. It's a 1099 gig - title is "System Administrator." I'm definitely happy with the job, as it looks like I'll have pretty broad responsibility. However, I'm really looking for a "long-term stable" job - for instance, with a contractor/consultant firm - and as such, I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a certain other position. A position which I just completed Round 3 interview for.

And mainlanders were skeptical of the job market in Hawaii... :D For me, it seems to be better than the Chicago area. However, my friend pointed out yesterday that when you find the place that you're happy to put down roots, that makes it a lot easier to find things that you really like - house, partner, job.

I'm happy to start - probably tomorrow or Wednesday - but I will kind of miss my free time. :p
