Congratulations on the job.
Jobs in the U.S. are hard to come by.
I applied for a part time jailer job in Mankato. Didn't get hired in spite of 10 years experience in the same jail with no bad marks. And 22 as a cop.
Don't know it it is because of my age (71) or my previous union activities (Steward). I am in better shape than most of the jailers working there.
Got nominated for the steward position by the Assistant Jail Administrator, I think he thought I am normally a quite person and can be pushed around.
He was wrong. I took the job serious and made them follow the contract a number of times.

NZ felt the recession.. not quite as much as you guys in the US though, I think.
Was really feeling the loss of income from artwork.. art is a luxury item..plus two of my teens are grown ups now..
I need something for me.. beyond dishes, washing/cleaning and picking up after other people..you do get taken for granted.. it's going to be a shock to their systems this week..
they've had plenty of warning though.

Congrats Allie! Sounds like you found a nice job.
Welcome back to working for someone else to make a living.
Are you still going to do your artwork? I think that would be way more fun.
Lots of luck in the new career.
