Monday the 9th of October
Finally got the offer from Disney. I have known about this position since about May of this year (’06)
My soon-to-be boss called me up and said ‘I’m making this job description and thought of you…you interested?” Obviously I’ve worked with her before. She was my boss when I first started working in Colorado Springs (in '99) and I later worked with her as a software provider (she was the client) when she left to work for Disney. (does that make sense?)
So she called me and said the position doesn’t even exist yet but once it does...would I be interested…and yes, I would have to move to the Burbank area.
I said I would be interested but continued on with my life knowing in the back of my head a move will be eminent.

I finally heard from the recruiter on Sept 18th and got the official offer on the 9th of October. Funny thing about corp. America…they make you wait and wait and wait and wait…then, when they want you…they expect you to drop what you are doing and get your ass to work. Not so easy for me as I was on client site in New Jersey for 5 weeks when she called on the 18th. I told her I had no intention to leave my company nor my client high and dry. When I started to discuss a reasonable start date with her, (November 6th) she didn't quite agree.
