But FINALLY I've found one!  YAY!  It's only been six months out of work, but after much toil and hardship I've finally landed a job again.  And it's one I'm pretty excited about.  So three cheers for me and working!  YAY!  YAY!  YAY!

You know, some might say that being out of work for six months is a nice vacation.  After all, I received a severance package from my last job (we were bought out by another company) and the government has been helping me search for work by keeping me afloat (aka Unemployment), so money was still coming in .. that's good right?

Wrong.  Sure at first it was nice to be off.  And I enjoyed myself for the first month and a half.  But then, no matter how into gear I kicked it, i couldn't get that bite that I needed.  At interviews I kept coming up empty and new prospects for my skills are slim in my area.  I didn't know where to turn.

So I really need to give a shout out to my man Paul (who will never read this and none of you probably know) who really looked out for his friend and helped me get the interview to land this position.  I appreciate good friends like that and don't worry, I was sure to tell the guy in person that I appreciated his assistance.

Maybe now I can settle in for a little normalacy.  At least for a while, anyway.  I mean, it is work, isn't it?  It's a crime that we can't be independantly wealthy in the first place so we don't have to even do this crazy working thing.

See you all around the water cooler!
