Well, I did it. I am finally taking the plunge. Management Systems Designers gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. I will be taking a 50% raise, form my own corporation and will be working at the IRS again. I will actually be building their Earned Income Tax Credit system that I architected later for a minumim of 1 year. Life is good. I gave my notice this morning right before the company Christmas lunch. It was sad for my coworkers, but they all understood and said I could come back anytime. Friday is my last day here and I get a whole week off next week. I will be forming my own Corporation next week and will be visiting an accountant to get everything squared away. I can't believe I am doing this, I will no longer have a techno-pimp paying me. Matter of fact my own Corporation will be my techno-pimp. All of my ideas can now be implemented with lower risk because it will be a product of my corporation. This is cool. It will be a lot of work in keeping up with paperwork and taxes, but when you work at the IRS there are tax advisors on the first floor. I will have to put up with the bad environment, but for that amount of extra money I am willing to overlook it. So if you hear me complain you have my permission to slap me. You know if it wasn't for a divine intervention I believe I would be out on the streets right now. When I quit the IRS my 2 job offers reneged and I had no where to go, then a day later Nokia gives me an offer. And out of the Nokia job I got to go to Prague and experience a cool paid vacation. And now the exact same day I am notified that my Nokia contract was terminated and bought by another company I have a dinner interview with MSD. Then today, the exact day that my other offer was due(in the afternoon) I get a call from MSD in the morning. I do believe that nothing is by chance and these instances furthers that belief. I also believe that God takes care of those who serve him. So it is an endless cycle of coolness.
