I don't think you could slap the smile off my face that I have right now! MM got laid off last June 1. He was offered a job over last summer with a good friend who is starting up a consulting business. Well, the work has been far and few between. Last time he really worked was October! Now, the problems have been worked out and the contracts should really start rolling in.
A month or more ago he applied for a job at a company he has wanted to work at for years. It's hard to get hired there. They interviewed him once in person and twice on the phone. They said they would be making their decision ten days ago. We resigned ourselves to the fact he was not being hired. Then last Friday, they emailed him and told him they had still not made a decision. When I got back from the fabric store, he was on the phone. He got the job and starts in a week! Now, he will be working that job, but still working the contracting job on his days off. One step closer till retirement for me....one step closer.
