So...

I was hoping that I'd proudly be reporting that I've been asked to work (admittedly, as a contractor) for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and would not have to work for Volt again (admittedly, at a much more comfy position).

I can't say that. It turns out the Foundation isn't making the decision until next week.

I've told the recruiter at Volt that I can't make a decision... not when the Gates Foundation might want to move forward with me, and bring me in for a second interview.

On 9/11/2004, I made an oath, to myself and the universe, that I would do what I could to make the world a better place, insofar as I could. I have to be a DBA anyway, to pay the bills... if I could pay the bills and be part of a fine organization that's fighting disease, helping schools, and libraries, and more, well, it's not a difficult decision to make.

But I am at peace. What will be, will be. I am patient.

AS LONG AS THE FRIKKIN' UNIVERSE IS PRETTY DAMN QUICK AT MAKING UP ITS MIND!!!

(Just kidding. Really. I'm a bit nervous, but even more excited and hopeful.)
