Default 46,828,800 seconds

Of previous unemployment. I just accepted an offer today! I start Monday, December 12th.

I will be on a contract to hire job as a Firmware Test Engineer with Landis+Gyr, who does business in the electrical grid industry (monitoring systems, smart meters (residential), and database services related to all of that). I will be working normal daytime hours, Monday through Friday.

Obviously I am VERY excited!!!!! I feel like an elephant just got off my chest!!!! What a ride THAT was!

Thanks ever so much for the emails, text messages, and phone calls during that entire time from so many who knew me. The support is heart-felt and remains tremendous!!!!!

From and including: Friday, June 4, 2010
To, but not including : Monday, November 28, 2011
It is 542 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Or 1 year, 5 months, 24 days excluding the end date
Alternative time units

542 days can be converted to one of these units:
  • 46,828,800 seconds
  • 780,480 minutes
  • 13,008 hours
  • 77 weeks (rounded down)
(ok, ok.... add a few more weeks to all of this since I technically don't start working until December 12th).

Too funny Terry! I know, really.... I am very excited for the next job I hate. Hee hee heee.

But this time around, I think my pain threshold is a lot higher before "hating" it. LOL
