Yes!!! My life has changed and for the better. I now work for the State of Nevada as a Computer Systems Technician III and I'm happy as can be. This is the type of work that I love and have always loved. It's just been the hardest type of work to get into in this area without driving further than I care to drive.

I miss the folks at Walmart, but I'll be back over there to shop and at least to just go chit-chat with them on my weekends, which I plan to do - maybe late tonight. They have not been forgotten and I did gain a new skill while working there that I can fall back on if ever needed should we eventually decide to leave this area.

Life otherwise? My hours have definitely changed. This is now the start of my day instead of being the middle or end of the day. This schedule will last about 2 months while I'm being trained, then I will be on swing shift permanently which is my favorite shift. I like being awake several hours before heading into work and when those hours are entirely daylight hours it's even better. I just can't get much housework done in the night hours.
