The end is near

It seems like my time as an unemployed slob have ended. It's been a little over 8 months since I've last worked, and it looks like I will be returning to the working force just shy of 9 months of unemployment. Moral of the story: I could've not had a baby in the time I was unemployed, which is a really good thing, because I'm not sure someone would hire me if I were about to have a baby.

In all seriousness though, I am very grateful that I finally will have a job again. I am even more grateful that I was in a position where I could make the best of my unemployment time. Very few people can get laid off and still be able to hold on to all their possessions, and be able to travel all over the world.

Now, here's the thing, the job is not in Chicago, in fact, the job is somewhere that is going to require me to move. Apparently, commuting 400 miles is out of the question. At first, I thought how typical it is that I would, after all this time, get a job in another state that would require me to move, and not somewhere that I would consider exciting. But then I thought, heck, someone is giving me a job, in a place that is relatively not that far away, where I actually know some people, and the job is exactly what I was looking for, so what the hell is wrong with me? Now, it has finally sunk in, and I am starting to get more and more excited about the move, starting a new adventure in a new place, and starting a new job. Minnesota, here I come!
