I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like I may finally have a job.
Went in for an interview this morning, and, if I pass the testing scheduled this Thursday, I'm in. It's nothing much, just a packing job, but it's better than what I have now, which is nothing. :D

w00t!

1. Congratulations!
I think there is nothing better than the feeling of just getting a job .... no matter what kind it is I think people are always so eager and hopeful when they first get a job.

2. Best of luck. I took one of those tests many years ago
when I was looking for a job in college. Have you taken one of those tests before?

3. Nope.
From what I understand, it's mostly hand-eye coordination, which means I REALLY have to be on the ball, because, normally, I'm a klutz, but I should have no problems. Plus, of course, the drug test and all that fun stuff. :D

11. Wish I could get a decent one
I have one now delivering Pizza, plus I work out of my home, but since I injured my shoulder, I haven't been able to find a job I can do, and I don't qualify for disability but the Dr. said I have permanent nerve damage (neck). Which makes my shoulder SEEM weak when lifting things.. I'm no damn welfare bumb, so I try to at least work doing something I CAN DO, but hell, I ain't getting enough hours. For the first time in 10 years of marriage, my WIFE is pulling in the most, my income is secondary... and we all know damn well you need 2 incomes anymore when your living middle class to get by...
