Last day of "vacation" for me, where that means a long period without work (or pay). Tomorrow - work!

Boy, I sure hope I remember how to use a computer. I'm pretty sure it was something like:
a) type on the keyboard
b) click on the mouse
c) complain about ergonomics until you get a new chair/desk/monitor

It will be good to have a paycheck, know why? 'Cause in America, if you don't have a job, YOU ARE FUCKED. And that's been on my mind pretty much continuously for the last 6 months. Uh, apologies to those who don't have jobs whose faces I just rubbed in that. No wait, truck, you got that thing in London, so we're ok. Everyone else, you've probably got some kind of support network or don't live here. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get this job at this exact moment. I've never had to live in someone's closet, but there's a first time for everything. Construction work or something, I guess. MAN POWER

A very similar thing happened to a good friend of mine a few months back. He was unemployed until the checks were about to run out, and as soon as he said something publically about being screwed, he got the job he wanted. He's been happily employed for four or five months now, glad to be back. Hope everything works out for you. =)

Hi, by the way =)

Yeah. And, even tho I don't have a paycheck yet, or an expense report payment to pay for the ticket or the hotel, at least I'm not at home where when they come to take my stuff away I'd like, see it and freak.

Here I can be blissfully unaware, while knowing that eventually I will have liquid cash bits.

yeah, unpaid vacation was good as well here.
started the new job hence the new career 2 weeks ago now...
one forgets what 'work' is like if you've been away enough and you've actually been 'enjoying' being away.
Liking the new job, enjoying it all, I am hoping I can stick with this one for a bit longer than usual..
(huummm why does it sound like I am talking about a guy? Aries.. get bored in everything they do..) :)

YEah it's like riding a bike!
sounds like you 'somewhat' recall how it all goes! ;)
try to have fun!
