I like Drupal too - it 'kinda 'just works'. Probably lots of code to write if you want to funk it up a bit though. You can try out a demo of it here1 at the marvellous 'Open Source CMS' site.
Also like TextPattern, as you know, though the developers seem to have stopped working on it and gone commercial - there's good community support though.
Current favourite is Serendipity2, though it's more of a blog than a cms.
Enjoy the new job!
