That's fantastic news! Congratulations! I can only imagine what a relief that must be. And it's good of you to post a mention of it, there's so much bad news and negative sentiment that it's encouraging to hear about someone successfully moving ahead.

Hopefully this is the thread that brings me luck. 236 days unemployed and am so anxious. I interviewed for 3 positions last week and the week before - all are promising. Send me all the good vibes. Please!

I am sending you ALL good vibes! Try not to stress. Something will come along soon. I know it's hard and I am in the same boat. The way I look at it something will come along soon.......it all works out eventually and anxiety does not serve a good purpose in life anyway.
