I got a call from a company this morning I interviewed with two weeks ago and they said Your Hired.
The pay is better than my unemployment benefits and figuring in the local economy the pay will be very close to my last job. They have already tapped me for a promotion in a few months which will then exceed what my last job paid.
I will have to relocate. The only disappointment is, is that I will have to give up my delegate status to the state democratic convention and positions on a local campaign and my community activism group. I hope I can find my way in to local politics at my new home.
Time to buy some new shirts and pants.

Again, good luck.
