Default I Got My New Job!!!

So some of you may know that back in June I applied at Portland, Oregon's mass transit system. I was called back for orientation and testing in July, then 3 days after I passed the test (with flying colors I might add) I was called in for the interview. They panel that interviewed me said that I would hear back about the job by the middle of LAST week. I didn't hear back and long story short, I was making myself sick because I was stressing about it SO bad. Well I called them today, left a message and got a call at 7:30 pm for the Human Resources person telling me that I totally blew away the panel at my interview and that I have the job!!!

I'm going to be a BUS DRIVER for Tri-Met...my new office is at the front of a 40' Gillig Bus!!!! You all have NO idea how happy I am!!!
