Offered and accepted a new job!

I don't post a lot on this forum, but I thought I'd share my good news. I recently interviewed for a position as a sort of IT generalist at a local school district in my area. The school actually contracts their IT staff out through a company that handles a lot of the smaller school districts here in Indiana, and that company is who I interviewed with.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I had a very positive feeling about the interview last week, and they called me last night to offer me the position (which I accepted). The actual job title is Desktop Support Technician, but I would be one half of a 2-man team, so I feel like I would be in a good position to get my hands dirty with a lot of different tech. It's a step up from my current contract gig as a Refresh Technician.

Being a school district, the pay isn't terribly high...it's pretty close to what I'm already making, but it's a permanent position versus my current contract job. $32k plus an annual training/certification budget ($500 the first year, $3,000 every year after that), cell phone reimbursement, and the usual perks like 401k, etc. Being that I only started working in IT back in June of 2013, I feel like I'm making good progress and wanted to share the good news. I think one of the great things about this forum is that you can communicate with people from all different aspects and levels of IT that you might not see in your daily career, and the insight gained is invaluable.
