Title: a new years miracle
Post by: ben on January 13, 2009, 12:28:04 AM: I got a good job offer today, my job starts the 26th - right after the last week of my unemployment benefits end! Anyone else have a reason this will be a great year?

Post by: yesno on January 13, 2009, 01:32:35 AM: I had an interview with a Gubberment Agency in December, and got a phonecall that I'm looking good but they can't do any offers until after the transition. I'm cautiously optimistically hopeful, warily.

I really didn't come here to bum out this thread but there were no miracles at my place of work today as two crucial folks were let go. It is a small business so two people equals 15% of our employees. My job is pretty secure but...still...just a bummer of a day.

But...ben, AMT, yesno...I hope you get your jobs. It is nice to hear some hopefulness out there...

Post by: snogrog on January 13, 2009, 12:47:30 PM: The Winter months to early spring are traditionally the worst times of a year for me. So far, nothing too crazy so far so I'm hoping against hope it goes better than it did last year!
