Update:

I have accepted the position! Pretty good salary being offered, too.





And a really interesting thing happened this week. My old employer (where I worked before I got fed up and quit, in order to go back to school) had their Christmas party on Friday night. Last week, one of my former co-workers called out of the blue to invite me. I must say, it was nice seeing all the people I actully liked again. A lot of changes, too. For instance, my old department has basically disintegrated since my departure, mainly for the same reasons I left: monumental management incompetence and favoritism in promotions, to name only two factors.

Well, the best part of the evening came when I told my old boss about my new position (he's originally from NOLA, and got his B.S. at Tulane). Back in 2003, when I announced my plans, he had basically told me he expected me to fail going back to college (I actually got a 4.0 GPA), much less ever progress to management. The look on his face was priceless.

I guess it's true:
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
And living well is the best revenge.
