Well, the good news came at last.  Microsoft is putting together an offer letter as we speak now and it should be in my Inbox by tomorrow.  The position is called a Programmer Writer for the business server team (Biztalk, Host Integration and Commerce Server I think).  It's a job that combines both of my passions together (programming and writing naturally) and is the perfect fit for me.

I also want to just take a moment and say something for those that are trying to land a job at Microsoft.  My only word of advice is to never give up.  Believe it or not, I have interviewed there a total of 4 times (the 4th time being the charm).  I learned a little bit of key information after each interview.  Sure it was very disheartening to be turned down 3 times but I took those rejections as a chance to learn what I need to work on.  So keep going for it.  You'll eventually make it.

One more thing, keep in mind that I still haven't accepted the offer.  I still have to convince my wife.  That's gonna be tough.
