Job offer accepted!

You are hearing it from me even before Dylan gets the news! Well, he's at work right now and there's no way to reach him....Anyhow, yes, the company increased the salary by a slight margin. But the 6-month temp to perm contact remains. The reason I am accepting the temp to perm offer is because they don't have a position at the level I am looking for but they are want to get me off the market while they work out a position for me. They are going to put me on a fast track consideration for a manager position in 6 months when I come on board as a permanent staff. I suppose that's an investment of time (and there's some financial sacrifices as well since I won't be eligible for pension, bonus, car etc.) on my part with this company. It's not the optimal scenario but it's not the worse as well. I start work Monday - Oct. 15th. The honeymoon period is over! Just as well :-) since I am getting really bored. TV watching and window shopping is starting to get really really old!
