After nearly 7 months of unemployment, I have finally got a new job. It’s an Administrative Assistant Job, not programming, but I’m going to be doing a certain amount of work with the company’s computers. The salary’s reasonable, and the company looks good. What’s funny about this is my first interview was last Thurday, after a sleepless night thanks to an automobile accident, and my final interview was today, after being up all night with a case of stomach flu. They’ve really got to see me sometime after I’ve had 8 hours sleep! I’m employed!! 😃 :Does the happy worker bee dance around the living room: CJ ---
