Paladin and Paladinwife: Happy Update [merged and moved]

How on earth can someone be unemployed that long and still continue to eat every day? That boggles my mind

I did it. I just started working again (July) and had been unemployed since Oct of 2002. When the economy start going south (I worked in high-tech), I paid off all my bills and my car and saved my money. It's called financial discipline. Granted I'm not married or have kids. I actually enjoyed myself. Working sucks.

In the process of doing so; I'm also gonna move this to the off-topic forum. Congrats on the new work, and I'm super-happy things are looking up!

Thanks everyone, it's good to be in "employed land" again. :)

(Aside - Paladinwife accidentally double-tapped when she submitted the thread...if a mod/admin could combine the two threads we'd appreciate it.)

Stone Angel: I would've sworn I saw you there (briefly), sorry to have missed you too.

Fenris: Speaking of local...my workplace is now 10 minutes from my house! I guess those 5 years of driving 45 miles one way to work have finally worked back down the karma scale. :D We've (my other than The Gamer's Bag company) have taken over all technology aspects for an entire school district.

die_kluge: It has been a long, hard road - but in the end it's been worth it. We've held on against the greatest adversity and we've found out who we can count on and who we can't - both family-wise and friend-wise. We've kept our home and stayed together. Now, we have a chance to actually make a living again.

Thanks, once again, to everyone who's helped us along the way. So, now I'm working all day bringing the school district out of techno-hell and working most of the night getting dice bags made. :D Woo-hoo!!! Also, I'm still DMing every two weeks...that, strangely enough, has helped me keep my sanity.
