all I can say is thank god, I mean things can go wrong but I have a good solid offer, I have to get used to working from home, which is great for the following reasons.
Tax write offs for home office (I think need to research that). Savings of probably a bit more then $200.00 a month, a sharp reduction in expensive lunches. No more spending an hour a day on the commute. A new and really interesting job. A bump in pay.
Hopefully this will work out great.
I want to thank all you guys and girls for your support. After several months of some of the absolute most shytty things happening to me and my friends and family, it was a big weight off my shoulders to get some good news.

I've worked from home from 1991 until I retired earlier this year. The main thing is to be disciplined. That wasn't a problem for me, as I was always swamped with deadlines and I didn't have time to slack off. The biggest problem I had was to get away from the work. It's hard when you have your office in your house. I felt guilty if I wasn't working. Anyway, you have to find a balance between work and leisure. Also, it is super important to be organized.
