A working class hero is something to be

sandmansisterSo it appears I may be joining the ranks of the looking for work. The company for whom I've been contracting since April 2008 cannot renew my contract. Apparently there's a rule against keeping contractors for more than 12 months.
On the plus side, my bosses want desperately to keep me. They're trying to get budget approval to hire me on permanently (though from what I can gather, it will be $5 - $10K/yr less). I got some good critique on my resume from them, too. In addition, there are 2 project manager jobs open, and they encouraged me to apply. I have a phone interview tomorrow. I like the analysis/planning phase a little better than content development anyway, so that's good. And I might be able to dodge the pay cut. We shall see.
Also have other irons in the fire thanks to former co-workers, so I'm mostly not freaking out. Actually, I felt a little relieved and free when they told me; I guess the stress was affecting me more than I knew. But it really felt like new opportunities, so I'm hoping to be proven right.
Any good thoughts, prayers, juju, or mojo greatly appreciated, of course.
