After two and a half years that included a broken arm and legal problems with the broker of the place I left. I am going out to Social Services tomorrow to tell them in person to go fuck themselves. ---

Congrats! IIRC, you used to work for a renter or real estate agency or something like that, right? Are you going to be in the same line of work? ---

“Great feeling” doesn’t begin to describe it. I never realized how much time"not having a job" takes out of your life. Even when not looking for a job, even in your best moments, it’s always in the back of your mind. Three days a week getting on buses to go to the employment office, social services, and support group. Two days trying to get interviews. A fucking big time pain-in-the-ass. ---

Congrats! Glad you found something good, and I hope it works out well for you long-term.
