I finally got work!!
After several months of unemployment, I will start a 12 week contract job later this week.
If all goes well the contract may lead to a permanent position which would be wonderful beyond words.
My college application was also accepted and I'll start part-time classes in mid-March. (I'm about 2/3s of the way toward my bachelor's.)
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support I've received and for the useful information I've received here at the FV Forums that made it possible for me to get through the tough financial times of the past months.Jen
