Well, I’ve ended my six-week paycheck drought yesterday…with a dream job! I’m working for a dot-com, twenty minutes’ walk from my house, for a higher salary than I was making at the place I got laid off of!
“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”

CM- I am happy for you, and I am in a similar situation. Today is my last day at a nasty sweatshop type job that I have to drive through rush hour traffic to get to. I start my new job on 1/3/2000 with a 60% pay increase and it’s a 15 minute walk from my doorstep.
Thanks for the good wishes, folks, and for the positive aura, manhattan (I’m sure that it helped that TubaDiva added a moderator’s vlessing to the meeting!).
Now, where did I leave that alarm clock six weeks ago…?
