A little over a year ago the company that I had been with for almost ten years let me go.

It wasn't a bad time for it to happen with Brad being deployed...

I've worked a couple part time jobs since then, but nothing that was long term...

Last Wednesday I had an interview for an admin position at an oil and gas law firm... that same day I got a call for an interview with a pool chemical company... The CFO made me an offer before I left the interview... It was a good opportunity but I liked the growth potential from the atty's office better...

Thursday afternoon I got a call to come in for a 'top three' interview with the full atty staff on Friday morning... And I got the call Friday afternoon that I was the unanimous choice... (made my day!)

So... Today was my first day... and I walked into this on my desk...

Had a blast with the staff... And am so excited that I took the time to find the right job...with the right office...

So if your out looking... Be patient... Do what you've got to do to pay the bills... But don't give up.. ;-)

Yay! That is awesome, although I, personally, think you should do photography (you are really great at it). Anyway, congrats!! You deserve it!
