The Hog is EMPLOYED AGAIN....

I accepted a job that was offered to me earlier this week, I will be starting on the 24th of this month. Needless to say, I am quite excited...not to mention relieved. I appreciate all the positive words and thoughts from my fellow Holics, looks like I am back in business.

Let me be the first to say congrats Tim, I'm glad things worked out for you.

Building material sales, primarily doors and windows. Making enough to not be

Congrats Tim.....thats great news....

First, congrats on being employed. Thats a good thing.

Second, we are not in a recession, and the unemployment rate has dropped for 2 consecutive months. Thats another good thing.

In macroeconomics, a recession is a decline in a country's gross domestic product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters. GDP rose 0.6% in Q4 of 2007, so the only R word we should be saying is Righteous!

Thats good for building material sales too. :twothumbs

Great stuff Tim, and long overdue. I got a mint AlTiN-S27C with your name on it when you get back on your feet!

You might want to take a look at this. The present economy has legions of underemployed and discouraged workers who aren't even counted in the "official" statistics because they either gave up looking, or are flipping burgers part time. Also, the only unemployment rate that matters to most people is their own.

To the OP: Glad you finally found work. Put aside whatever you don't need for living expenses because this current economy is fragile. It could go either way at this point.

Congrats Tim You are one of the lucky ones considering the hordes of people who quit even trying to find a job as jtr noted correctly above.
