I got a job!
Well it took 22 months and ten days, two strategic emails BUT - THE LONGEST weekend of my life is over. Yes folks I have a JOB. It is at 360 Mediawatch a media monitoring company - I'm going to be the utility man - some video editing, program logging, and later on probably some spreadsheet work. Its provisional - when I get up to speed and if I don't screw anything up - which I WON'T - I'm a go. In the words of President Bartlett - Okay what's next!

Whew!!!, eh?
I know the feeling, and am very happy for you....
Great news, and the very best of luck.
A part of everything you earn is yours to keep. That means, every paycheck, put something into savings.
Congrats! 
Hope this works out to be your best job ever! 
It took me almost 5 years to finally find work, so I know exactly what you are feeling. Mine started as partime, 20 hrs a week, and I just got bumped up to 35 three weeks ago. Got my fingers crossed that very soon I make the transition from the temp agency that is technically my "employer," to a fulltime, regular for the place I actually work at.
Those of us that have survived that hell that is being long term unemployed, know just how devastating it is to every aspect of your life, not the least of which is your self-image.
Your good news is the highlight of day. Now get out there and dazzle 'em!
I won't have to be spending time plowing through Internet job boards. I listened to Stephanie Miller on Tune In so I had a few laughs - Steph and The Mooks helped keep me sane 
Congrats!
CONGRATULATIONS! Been there, and what a great feeling it is! So happy for you!
Now go out and celebrate this!! You've earned it.
I so happy for you
Today was the first full day on the new job and - well now I can look forward to Fridays again
