Back to the front, they tell me. After a long, long time away from gainful employment, I’m back in the saddle again. This should be fun 🙂 ---

Ooohhh!! Me too, Mr Cynical! I got told I have a new job today, after nearly a year of not having a job. I’m pretty glad to be _finally_ doing something other than looking for a job. Anyhow, congrats! ---

Congratulations! I hope you passed along that good job-mojo to Miss C, and if there’s any left over, I’ll take some too, please. ---

Good to hear, **MrC**. I know the feeling - I was laid off in February and accepted a job offer on Monday. I’m starting the 19th. Congrats to **Broken Doll** as well, and good vibes to **Miss Creant** , **Geobabe** and anyone else doing a job search. ---
