(22,271 posts)He had an appointment with them and thought he was just going to be given another contract (it's been one project at a time). He came home with a stunned look on his face and said, "You're not going to believe this, but they just hired me!" He was as stunned as I was. He had to tell me the salary/benefits information twice because I didn't hear him the first time. It's not as much as what he was making before he was laid off (company closed down) but I don't care! I've forgotten what it's like to have a regular paycheck. To be able to go out to dinner every once in awhile. To not get panicky when I realize I've gone over my $200.00 a month at the grocery budget. To have heat in the house (our central heat/air went out two years ago and we've been using space heaters and wall unit air conditioning).
I posted to DU and read the responses for awhile, laid down to take a nap (no sleep last night, LOL!), got up to find this still on the first page and SO MANY responses, recs and Hearts!! This is a day I'll remember for the rest of my life.
