...but just got a call this morning that they moved the start date from August 3 to October 1.

>:(

At least it sounds like they weren't trying to jerk me around and just have their hands tied...

Thats a big change...

"Fiscal year rollover" was the reason cited. They don't have the budget before the new fiscal year starts.

It's the field I want to work in and for a pay level I think is right for my career but also in the right industry (government defense contracting) and if I can get past the six-month contract-to-hire phase, the contract I'll be working for is effectively endless, meaning it's incredibly stable (one of the big problems with working in defense contracting).

Thats awesome. Government work seems like it gives a great lifestyle.

I get a bit jealous when I hear friends say if they work more than 40h it means they get the time to use as PTO. As opposed to hearing 40h is for slackers >_<

It's a 9/80 schedule too so every other week you get Friday off.

9/80 is awesome.

Coming from salary and 5 10s being standard with randomly expected 60-70h weeks based on need...the idea of getting a day off for more work sounds insane and amazing.
