So, after 3 years, *I* just got a job. But there's a catch. . .
Some of you may remember a couple of weeks back I posted that my husband got a job after being unemployed for 3-1/2 years:

Well, a couple of years ago I filled out an application and took a test for the Census Bureau (I worked for them in 2009 and 2010). Since it had been so long ago I had pretty much forgotten about it then, yesterday, I get a call and had an online interview. Today they called me to tell me I was hired! Yay! But it's a federal job and tomorrow starts the sequester! Boo!
No idea if this will affect the job or not but it just goes to show that the cosmos can have a sick sense of humor.
