H@PPY MY B-DAY!

Happy it's my B-day!! I'm 29 .. scarey I tell ya.
Jen made me some cupcakes sang me the Bday song. Goood stuff!

I got The Chappel Show Season 1 and The Muppet Show Season 1 and a beard trimmer!! I have been wanting the beard trimmer for a while now... I have been playin around with one for a few months now but it gets to huge and I shave it all off. So now I can keep one!


So on Friday I received a call from Sallie Mae.. a company I had interviewed with several times to be turned down twice. The first time they called me out of the blue wanting me to interview for one job.. called a few days later and said no...called me 2 weeks after that ... ran me through some tests (which I blew away!) and got the same news again. Now they called me again for the 3rd time and just offered me the job over the phone. I chose not to make a decision yet on it.. I'm at a great place now only on contract though and it's about to come up for renewal .. or not..who knows. The whole plan as explained by my recruiter was that they wanted to bring 2 guys on under contract...hire one on and keep the other on a temp basis. 3 month contract to be extended upon circumstances. I told my recruiter about the offer and he immediatly asked what he could do to keep me on.

Grrrr see here's the problem...I with TTE I am learning soo much and I'm just getting into SAP and server management..hours are flexable and it's always a challenge. With SM I would be making around 50k a year ...stable employment but no job challenge and a stiff staff and no flexable hours.

I have a baby on the way ... so I could take the high paying job now...and be bored with it and possably hate it and really add nothing to my resume and expierence or stay with a lower paying job with a raise in a month of only $2.oo and a possible extention of 6 months.

Next Day.....

Well I talked to my recruiter today and he said that I can get the 6 month extention and a $2.00 raise for sure if I were to stay. I guess it's good news but I also want to hear what the other guys have to say in the morning. I dunno ... let's see what happens.
