Woo hoo!! I received the offer letter yesterday afternoon. I'll be working through a sub as a construction manager but acting like an employee, kind of like in the telecom world. I'll be working on the Public Works side of things, managing road and sidewalk repair as well as water and sewer work which is not where my experience lies but learning new things is always good. The office is in a high rise downtown, first time I've worked in the middle of a city but this city is very easy to get into and out of, unlike southern California. I was driving through the interstate in the middle of town the other day at 4:44 pm and the traffic was crusing, unbelievable when looked at through So Cal eyes. Now I can find me a permanent place for these mutts of mine instead of living like a hobo.
One of my favorite authors/chefs/TV hosts Anthony Bourdain did a No Reservations show here in New Orleans last year, you can download it from itunes for 2 bucks. He talks to Chris Rose, my favorite local columnist (read his book One Dead in Attic for the most comprehensive, and heartbreaking, post-Katrina state of the city updates) quite a bit on the show so go download it already!
