clark17357 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 That is great news! And you have your priorities straight with your thought of saving for a supercharger. 17 months is a long, long time and it sounds like this position is one you covet and will enjoy. Congratulations.

tony356 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Congrats Sir. It's a tough market right now an a lot of folks are on the hunt for a job. A few folks near me in SE Pa have found work but it is in Virginia and NYC. They are renting cheap apts for monday thru thursday and come home on the weekends. Way to stick with it.

jsarkis Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Woot! That is terrific news. I know I was unemployed for 5 months and drove my now ex-wife crazy, one of the worst times of my life. Enjoy your employment, I know I feel more lucky everytime I turn on the news and see the unemployment woes. Sounds like it's beer thirty for someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFL05GT Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 That's fantastic news! Best of luck with the new job! I've been unemployed for 2yrs, after being laid-off from my IT job of 24 years, so I know the pain first hand. I finish school after this semester, so hopefully it will help. Again, Congrats!!
