My day today, I GOT A JOB!
A DU Post from last week about interview fashion.

Yes I wore the pin point collar.
Third interview since I was laid off in August. First with this organization. I actually found free parking downtown so I should have known things were going my way. Public sector. It was an "informal" interview due to my preferred hiring status (hard to explain). Meeting with the direct supervisor (usually it's a 4 person panel) ...a manager sat in for a while...a took a break (supervisor smokes)...in comes the boss...we meet and she says "We're going to make this happen" .....Me: "Really?". First interview hirings AT THE INTERVIEW are unheard of.
Yep start in a few weeks. Just as my severance runs out.
I'm still waiting to hear about two other slightly higher paying positions I interviewed for last week.
The Cleveland Browns won last night after 635 days.
Oh yeah I also found out my unemployment claim was processed so I get to go back two weeks and double dip (while on severance). Hey look, they approved it.
IN-law is home from the hospital after a bit of a heart scare. Everything checked out.
Then my wife texts me - the tax return check we somehow lost? The replacement check came in the mail today. TODAY!!!
What a day!!
If you're wondering, I know it's a tax on the stupid but HELL YEAH I went and bought some lottery tickets.
Shit. Why not?
Lastly, little ones has straight A+'s so far AND she's a really really good kid.

Congrats and Happy Friday!
I'm glad things seem to be going your way! 
I like hearing someone's good news. 
Nice to get returns, finally.
You deserve a well deserved relaxing evening.
good for you.
We seem to have the same kind of runs. Life kind of wacks us around for a while, tons of anxiety etc etc then out of the blue a good solid run of good things happen.
Congratulations...hold onto that positive energy, you earned it!!!!
What a great day! Congratulations on the job. 
If we don't call on Friday night they call to see if everything is okay. 
Fancy lunch tomorrow.
GOOD NEWS!!
Hugs to you! 
May your new job be the best one ever!!
Why not? What a great day, underpants! (Not a sentence I ever thought I would write.)
You deserve it.
Do the happy dance!
Browns beating the Jets is no small matter either. A couple weeks ago the Browns came very close to beating my Steelers. I mean, it could have gone either way.
Glad to hear you've got a new job lined up. Time to go out and celebrate!
Congratulations! Sounds like an excellent day!
What a day - hope you mark it on the calendar. Good going -
Coming out from under a bad few weeks myself, so this gives me hope!
Congratulations on the job and the run of good luck!
Congratulations!
ETA: Now you can afford a new pair of underpants!
Have a beer today to celebrate all your good fortunes
Wishing you other choices since that's out there, but of course one in hand is...woo-hoo!
2. You just had the best day you'll probably ever have.
Savor it.
All the best.
I've got three more weeks off! 
Hell that unemployment means lots of golf. Cha-Ching!
Everyone needs a string of good events and good vibes. 
overpants.
May this be a fulfilling venture for you, and not just a 9 to 5 thing to do. May you flourish!!
I was severed from my job (of 21 years) in August, too. A stable company, in a decent little mid-west town, and one that was proud to tout that they had NEVER had layoffs in their 100 year history.
Well, they can't say that anymore. 1000 of us, gone.
And I've still got not one prospect. In fact, I'm still twisting in the wind, not even knowing what to do next. I'm completely lost. 
But, congrats! Sounds like you had an awesome day!
Heartfelt congrats baby!
Congrats and hopes for good future.
Good to hear!
Well deserved!
No more working full time on the HoneyDo list, 
Congrats.
I wasn’t having such a great day but then I read your post.
Thanks for having a great day and spreading the good stuff around!
