Obama Signs Stimulus Yesterday. Today, I Got A New Job.
No joke. Obama signs the bill yesterday, and I just got a call from my agency about a new contract that starts tomorrow.

13. I got an interview tomorrow
Laid off 3 times since 07. I HOPE this time on unemployment is a short one. But this job is almost identical to my last one, and it deals with a more stable market!

Congratulations to you!

18. That's wonderful, Yavin4. I hope this is a trend. My company will be closing in
9 days, and I will be out of work.
