An offer I can't refuse

eveglassSo, HR just made the the official offer to hire me as a full-time employee. The benefits package is pretty much as explained to me during my interview.
I made two requests of them: first, to shorten the probation period from three months to a month and a half, since I've already been working part-time for over four months. The end of probation is when benefits kick in, when my pay increases (quite significantly, actually), and when the clock starts ticking for paid vacation time (which I receive a year after hiring date). We'll see what happens on that front.
Second, I've mentioned a few days I can't work in the near future (for personal and religious reasons) and noted the days I would like as holidays in 2009. Most notably, Pennsic will fall before my one-year anniversary (ie: before I would get my vacation pay), and I want to make sure that I can take those two weeks off, even if they're unpaid.
So the HR person is going to talk with the local Big Boss, and they'll probably have a contract ready for me on Wednesday. Yay!
