    Talking Good News !

    Good news from the Zardoz vortex! I start a nice regular job next week!

    I have tried not to make a big deal of it, aside from mentioning when it happened, but without going into the gory details, I have been unemployed without benefits since May 2009.

    Congrats! I know exactly where you're coming from. Even though I am finally working full-time (after 4 years being jobless, w/ just a short contract 2 years ago), I still have no benefits, as it's considered a temporary position. I'm hoping to find a (at least semi-) permanent home w/ benefits soon.

    Congrats, Zardoz! I guess I hadn't been paying attention; I had no idea you were out of work. What kind of work do you do, if I may ask?

    That's such great news! What a feeling of relief you must have!
