So I lost my job back in January. Bad situation, bad boss, ugliness all around. After sending out countless resumes, and going on around nine interviews, I’ve accepted an offer and go back to work on Monday! Woo-hoo! I was actually able to turn down offers!

I wish I could’ve enjoyed being unemployed more, what with the time off and all. But money worries and wedding plans trumped the laziness factor. So now I get to celebrate going back to work. Odd world.

I’ve been unemployed for seven months so I know how it feels. I’m glad you’ve managed to find something. Congratulations.
