Sorry for the wait on this, but I didn’t want to post until everything was final. I started work on Monday at Stonefield Josephson working at the help desk as a contract-to-hire employee. Thursday I accepted an offer as a full employee. It’s a great place to work. All of the people there are very nice and the company treats its employees very well. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I’ll get any more Mac or Linux experience there, but there’s still a lot for me to learn and I think it’s going to be a great experience.

My commute is about 5 miles, but LA traffic makes that about 30 minutes on a good day. My drive home Thursday night was an hour and 15 minutes. I still love it here, though. For what I gain living here, a slightly longer commute to work is a small price to pay.
We’ll be moving in about a month and a half into a house, hopefully. We’re currently looking around Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley and around West LA. I can’t wait to get my own room. I’ll finally be able to put up all of my books on a bookshelf and take the rest of my belongings out of my car.

Well, there’s been a decent amount going on here, but mostly the same thing every day, so I didn’t think it would be all that interesting to write about. I’ve received requests for an update, though, so here it is.

I’ve been getting used to the area pretty well. Traffic is interesting, but it’s not really any worse than route one in Rockland in the summer; it just goes farther. I’ve been doing a lot of interviews and I’ve got a couple jobs that I should be hearing back on tomorrow. Both of them would get me earning about $40,000 a year and they both have great benefits. One is farther away, but the scenery is really beautiful, so I don’t think the drive would be that much of a problem. Either way, I should be doing pretty well fairly soon.

That’s about it for the moment. Hopefully I’ll have some good news to post about tomorrow.
