Mundane, pointless, and of absolutely no import to the world at large, but shatteringly awesome for my little corner of it: Mr. Chord has found full-time employment!

After a year and a half of relocation, resume scrubbing, long-winded applications, automated rejection emails, and false-start letdowns (and boy, can those hit below the belt or what?), he walked into a follow-up interview today and walked out with a job offer.

Paid training starts next month, followed by cubicle goodness. What’s more, barely an hour after he called to let me know, he called again with even more good news – he won’t, in fact, have to work the night shift as we had originally thought.

So on top of it all, we’ll actually, y’know, see each other and stuff!!

I am just thrilled silly, and wanted to share.

Wonderful news. I hope it turns out to be the job of his dreams, or at least bearable. Or at least pay well.

Thank you, thank you, everyone! **kayT** , it isn’t the job of his dreams (not what he said in the interviews, of course), but it’s got room for growth, should be bearable for at least a little while, and is a better demonstration of his skills than what’s currently on his resume. Plus, benefits!
