New JOB!

So today I got confirmation that I will be starting at Dell doing a server tech support position. I gave my 2wks notice to my current employer who was not very happy since they just gave me a raise and pomotion today also.. I have heard good and bad things thus far about Dell. I know atleast one of you have called tech support and got some person in india, well just to let you know ... its not all like that. Infact I belive its only for the home user system that it is. The good thing is at my current job I started at 8hr now I am leaving, (1yr later) making 13hr. Next month I will be making 17.74hr.. keep in mind I am at the young at of 19 . I just wanted to post cause its goin to rock!
