I got a job!

I got the official call this morning, and the paperwork is on it's way.

Actually I told them that the offer was a bit light but I will consider it.
They called back a while later and offered more money.
So the paperwork is on its way, I just need to sign it and fax it back.


But......

I also have another job that I'm just waiting for the background check to clear.
(Since I passed the background check on the first job this should be a go as well)
This one should also be more money, so we will see.


Then to top it off

My old company called with a position (Um, Thanks but no thanks)



So after hearing nothing for months I finally got a job!


To those still looking, don't loose hope, I'll be praying for you.

And to those who prayed for me Thank You!

I walked in to one employer and told them I wanted a 7,000 raise. This was right
after I took a week off of vacation to send myself through a class for a certification.

The owner said come back in an hour, I did and got the raise.

LoL this, and I salute you for not being a full time unemployment sapper. I can understand a few months maybe even up to 6 months drawing unemployment to find a job to keep your family stable but when you start getting these people who draw for a year and even two years......then the train needs to stop and your just being a leech, thats just being worthless American.

I wish everyone had the same belief system as we do. I have never had to do it myself and when I did get layed off I resorted to getting a less paying job though not by much less. However thats not what your here about and major congratulations on the job and wish you the best of luck.

I fully understand, try to keep positive (I know it's easier said than done).

Pray, go for a walk, pray some more.

I never expected to go 6 months without a job.

It really affects you to your core

Yeah, im trying to keep my head up.  My best friend worked for the same company and hes been out for a year.  He told me that he got to the point where he lost his confidence.   Its scary though.  If I didn't have my parents, I'd be out on the streets.

Make sure you give them a hug :)

My next door neighbor came over to help me get my daughters car un-stuck from the
snow, while he was over we got talking and he has not seen a paycheck in 2 months.

I started praying for him (getting my mind off of my problems)
and next thing ya know I had offers flowing in.

Makes you wonder, did I have to look beyond me??????
