I have a job. A real, honest-to-goodness, full-time, with-benefits job! True story, peeps. I have to say, I have mixed emotions. I am so, so grateful to have found a job in the midst of such a struggling economy. However, my six months without a job was kind of a dream. One I don't think I'll ever experience again. It was a time of struggle not knowing when I'd be employed, but it was also a time when I got to do things and help people around me without having to get back to the grind.
After so many months of not having an 8-5 job, I have felt so much anxiety this past week. I've done lots and LOTS of praying, temple-going, etc. to ease my nervous self. I feel good about where I am and the people I've worked with for just one week already. I'm not loving the extra early morning hours of getting up, but I feel a sense of pride knowing there is somewhere to be, a place where I get to progress, learn, and better myself and my situation. For this I am thankful. I'm a blessed girl. I have incredible people all around me. How could I not be happy?! Thankful, thankful I am.
The end.

Sweet! Where are you working? I'm so glad you're liking it. New jobs are always nerve racking. I would feel so scared starting a new job now that I'm so used to the security of working for the government! Congratulations!
Hurray! Glad you had 6 months, and happier still that you will get a paycheck. Though I would have selfishly pushed it off for one more week so I could have seen you. I miss you. Congratulations Erin dear! Whoever they are, they are lucky to have you.

That is so great! Congrates. It's probably good to start a new job right as summer is dying down, that way you don't feel like you have missed out an anything.
woot woot!! I miss your face!
