I GOT A JOB!!!!!
Maybe I should've posted this in the Non-Cigar Related section, but I didn't wanna!!!
I've been out of work since January 2nd, 2009 after being laid off from a job I loved and was good at. It's been a hellova year, having to sell off assets just to pay bills because unemployment was falling short. Despite good qualifications, interviews have been few and far between. Went to an open interview back in December, and was called for a second interview this past Saturday the 16th. Sunday, they called me and told me they went with someone else. Today, my unemployment has run out, and I'm filling out applications. As I'm filling out the one I pushed to last - McDonald's - I get a phone call.... The other guy didn't work out, and they want me to start tomorrow, full-time, at the maximum of the pay grade. It's a job I'm gonna love, paying good money with benefits, and maybe a 15 minute commute..
Praise the Lord! And thank you to all of you Brothers that have shown such friendship to me these months that I've been a member, and I appreciate the many friendships I've made. I look forward to an awesome year being a part of this group, and trying many new cigars!!!

CONGRATS!!!! Wow, that has to feel great. Now, just because you are going to be making the big bucks, don't go and spend all your money at once. . . like this place.
Just kidding. Pay off all your bills, get your girl something nice, then call The Beard.0 -
Great news. You deserve to get a big break like this!0

Congrats! You are still expected to keep up your posts at the same pace. LOL
Seriously, the most important thing you said is that it is a job you'll love. That makes all the difference in the world. Best of luck!0 -

That is wonderful! Always great to hear good news about a BOTL on here! Congrats!0

Thanks everyone for the congrats. I already know what my celebratory stick is - I've been saving it for quite a while. I can't mention it here, but suffice to say it's an appropriate stick and I owe Evan (Ejenne87) for it from way back when. I'll probably get into it on Friday, or maybe Sunday...not sure right now when I'll have the time to sit down with it, but it'll be soon for sure.0
