Wow. It was actually not too bad. I do empathize with MSK in that EVERYONE was asking, “When are you going to get a job?” or, “got a job yet?” or whatever. But I finally got one, not at a fast food place, and not for minimum wage. I am happy. It’s at the local school and office supply place. I pack boxes and stuff like that all day, but like I said, it’s not too bad.

Congratulations!

I know that it’s like to be without a job (don’t we all?). Fortunately, it’s been years. And back then, I didn’t have the SDMB to keep me distracted. (I mostly sat around, sulked and got depressed)  
Best of luck at your new job!
