One less unemployed person! My wife got a job!

[AWD]

She's been unemployed since February 28, 2002...and 5 minutes ago she got the call!!

She'll be working for Nova, basically taking care of homelessness...finding shelters for people, making sure they are provided for, etc.

24,000 a year, AMAZING health benefits, and a smile across her face knowing she has a job again!

So congratulate Chryslin, my wife and fellow DUer!!!!! She'll post a "Ask me anything" thread later tonight!

1. That's wonderful!!

Not only a job,but a job that MATTERS!")

7. It sure is....

....and don't think that I'm not just giddy with joy, thinking about how this looks for my campaign.

"His wife finds homeless people, helps them off the streets, feeds them and gets them into shelters" just sounds REAL good, doesn't it????

2. That's great, you guys!

'Bout TIME I found something good here this morning. All the layoff threads were getting mighty depressing. :)

12. Congrats Chryslin!

Every time I hear about anyone who has been long-term unemployed who has gotten a job, I feel like another blow has been strcuk against the neocons. And what a job -- the need in so many places is so great.
