3. Congratulations! Are you happy with it?

I hear of people having to settle for much less, but compared to nothing, most any job might have to do. I hope you were able to find something in your field and that you are thrilled.

9. Not exactly the same but still fairly close and the pay is the same..

plus a bunch of part time consulting work is gonna open up for me soon too so I can start digging out of my financial hole from 2008.

6. I don't think you should start late, not this week

With a new job, it's probably a good idea to get there on time.

Congrats though. When I started my new job I was kinda bummed, because I could have had unemployment for a couple more months.

8. Who can afford to live off of $1100/month in Florida?

That's the MAX.

I didn't even file because I was doing a very part time consulting job that paid that much during the last three months. (It was maybe 75 hours over a 3 month period. :( )

I can't imagine looking for a job in this environment. You have obviously survived the ordeal.
