I just thought I would share the conclusion of my job search efforts.  The second interview I went to was effective.  I now work for a former competitor servicing private and corporate clients' computers and networks for $40/hr.  I start tomorrow.

I am very pleased with the results.  Much better than the bait and switch interview where they wanted me to build their business (especially when I can *be* their business).  This company seems comfortable with me working for myself on the side, which is quite odd.  I did not expect that.

I can make some decent cake now.

Do what makes it easier on your stomach. After all, you already know how bad ulcers can be.

Awesome!
I love working for myself in this field.  And working as what is in effect and independent contractor is just as good. 
Have fun.

Well, I met with him tonight and signed the contract.  It is set up as an independent contractor, so I will be putting it under my business account.  Sweet deal.  Tax breaks.  There are no anti-competition clauses or anything.  I can still run my own business if I want.  Actually, I learned from him tonight that he has another potential contract for me, this one servicing Windows servers for a large company.  That is right up my alley as well.  I have three of them sitting here beside me, one of them a beta test for Microsoft.

Things keep getting better all the time.  [:)]
