A new beginning, a new job! Today I signed the contract for my new job.
2 weeks ago I saw an ad on a national job website for system administrator/web developer. Since both of those jobs appeal to me, I applied and got an invitation.
The meeting was with two guys who run a recruitment agency, and we agreed to meet Tuesday at a McDonalds restaurant (geez, what a place for a job interview 
). The guys liked what they saw and heard, and so they introduced me to the company that hired them to recruit a system administrator/web developer.
The next Friday I was invited for an interview at the company, and after the interview I had a real good feeling. Apparently that feeling was mutual, because yesterday I got the good news that the company wanted to offer me a contract for 6 months 
. After reading through the proposition, I agreed to sign the contract, which happened today.
So... a little info about my new employer: Its a really big web shop called ACES Direct (http://www.acesdirect.nl). Its a fast growing company, and the majority of people that work there are about my age. My job will be mostly the internal system administration, and a little PHP-based web development on the side; but as the company gets bigger the PHP stuff will probably become less and less, since the system administration will take up more time.
My first workday is May 12th.
