I start working again next week!

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Thu Nov 13, 2008 6:33 pm

I have a new contract job with IBM at the State of New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. I'll be upgrading a lot of their software. It's for just five months but I'll likely get additional contracts with IBM after that.

It's about an hour drive to Trenton from here down Rt. 206. I'll probably get a motel room during the week so I won't have to worry about the winter weather keeping me from work.

The NTN location where my team moved after Bennigan's went under is just up the road too!

Congratulations, Bob!

The winter weather in NJ isn't all that bad! Maybe keep the hotel room in mind if you get caught in a big storm.

We'll see if I can handle driving for at least an hour each way. I'll book the hotel room ahead of any storm.

That's great news!

I'm not sure what day I'll actually start working. I have to have two different background checks done first: one for the state and the other for CTG. I hope they don't find this Bored! The state needs to cut a purchase order too.

Thanks all for your good wishes.
