w00t.
I just accepted a job offer.
Pros:
* Working with sane open-source technologies, rather than an in-house (non-transferrable skill) application framework.
* North London location - meaning I can move to North London... real London!
* Shinier job title - 'Senior Developer'
* Slightly more money.
Cons:
* Horrific existing codebase (but my job is to replace it, not maintain it).
* North London location - meaning I have to commute from SW19 to N1 until I can find a new flat, and from N[5-9?] once I do find a new flat. Also that I have the hassle of moving, boo. Hey, some people are never happy :)
* Higher rent in the new area looks certain to eat more than the wage increase will gain me.
* 9am start, not negotiable - argh.
On the whole, I am a bouncy and excited thing just now. :) I've been feeling like I need a bit of change to jumpstart my enthusiasm for life lately, and here it is. So yeah, I'm excited. *bounces*
I start when I've recovered from my surgery, so sometime early June.

True, I had completely forgotten about that. I was just remembering the time when I didn't stand you up.. which was, well, pretty darn enjoyable.
How about you invite me up to Edinburgh for a filthy weekend? I promise I wont stand you up and you can do with me as you wish for the entire weekend..

I know someone in that area who might be looking for a flatmate, which might be useful for you while you find your feet and sort out a place to stay. Want me to look into it?
