Wells Fargo hires my services!!!

I woke up this morning, not to the familiar "Fab Farm" tone that I have set up for my alarm but to my "Fear Factor" ringtone. I wasn't expecting a call from my dad so early in the morning, so I was kind of surprised to see my phone ringing. The caller ID showed a 415, San Francisco, area code. When I picked up it was Mariela, my Technical Recruiter from IT Ascent. "Hello Neeten! I have some news for you. I just got a call from Wells Fargo and they really liked you! They want you on board as soon as possible. So can you start from the 13th?" Wow! Finally! I got the call I have been waiting for so long. My interview with Wells Fargo, this Tuesday, didn't go as good as I planned it. Sure, I answered all their questions. But I kind of felt that my answers were not satisfactory! You know. The kind of answers you know are right but you still feel that you could have done better. Anyways, Mariela takes my personal details for the background check and tells me to wait 3 to 4 days for the official confirmation of the start date, after the background check in done with. You know the kind of check the employers to do to make sure you are not some drug lord, deliquent or a bail jumper. And what do you expect? Its Wells Fargo... one of the largest banks in the whole of the US. Anyways, I hang up and go to the bathroom to brush and get ready for one of the nicer days I had since a long time! While brushing, I suddenly realise that I had not asked Mariela, where am I actually placed!!! Wells Fargo had openings in both their Minneapolis, MN and San Francisco, CA offices!!! Where will I be on the 13th!!! I hurry back to my phone and give Mariela a call back. "Hello, Mariella, I kind of forgot to ask you. Where am I being placed? Is it San Francisco or Minneapolis?" She laughs "Oh Neeten, its San Francisco." Great! Well I spend the rest of my day calling family and friends, telling all about my project. It will be in their 155 Powell St Office, I will be working as a Test Engineer, Its a Datawarehouse Testing Project, The length of the project is quite long, and so on. I also had to fill out those pesky forms for the background check. Well in anycase, the job sounds really interesting and I can't wait to start.
