You've got some definitely favorable points, TW. If the rest is
pleasing, and the salary one you can live with contentedly, it sounds
good.
Best wishes to you,
Jim

Also, they've got a list of qualifications and preferred qualifications
and I have everything on the preferred list.
Also, I mistyped in my original request. The salary is $40K (not 45K). I
was hoping for 10% wiggle room. I know it's less than I was making, but
the benefits are excellent, a small commute, inexpensive parking, free
courses, and hopefully more security.
Thanks for all the responses I've received so far!
