Hi, all. I am celebrating big-time! DH just announced he got the job!! After waiting more than a month, going through all kinds of hoops, he starts in a few weeks. Yes, the salary is a bit less than where he is at now, but more than prior job, better benes, closer commute, etc. DH has to lose 50 lbs (so says the doc), he quit smoking (one month this week!), and get rid of that grey hair! Becky, tell your DH not to give up. Go to pongoresume.com. We signed up for it, and it really helped, especially the parts on responses to questions for different situations. DH even fixed dinner, put away all the laundry, and installed new shower faucets, so he is happy. Ladies, thanks for support on this, and not to give up. Appreciative whiz. :):)

Woohoo!!!! Congras Whiz!! You must be so excited, and I bet DH is looking forward to the change. Even if the pay is less, the time (and money) saved on the commute, the better benefits and the happy DH will make is SO worth it. Go out and celebrate woman!!!

Hi, Ladies--Just want to say "thanks" again for kind words and support. It really means a lot. BTW---DH is on a "Fix-it" mantra--new faucets, shower head, handles for the outside hoses, etc. It is so worth it to have a happy DH (productive DH!). I figure we'll save at least $100/month or more on his gas cards. Fondly, Whiz.
