Not bad. Reminds me of the Good Ole Days at UPS! That was the best job I ever had. Hell I would had taken a pay cut and still kept the job. Bigist mastake of my life was staying in collage and acctually persuing a thing that I had no desire for. Not disopionted where I am today but was alot happier there.Those where the days.

Sorry about that all. Just got me thinking....

Congrats on the new job!

And yeah, like deej says, always hold a little back in reserve. Under-promise and over-deliver. If you know you can do it in 2 hours, tell them it will take 4, let them negotiate for 3, then deliver in 2. You'll be a hero.

Oh, and about that matching 401k contribution, if you possibly can afford it, take advantage of every bit of matching funds available to you. That's like free money, man and while it might hurt a little bit up front, you'll be thanking yourself later.
