Employment!

Full-time employment has been acheived, kiddies. Thanks for putting up with all my whingeing over the last few months. The place I work part-time at now is hiring me full-time next week. My benefits don't kick in for 90 days, but it's still a relief to know that health care and paid vacation is in my near future.

And in "when it rains, it pours" news, J. may also be attaining full-time (non-temp) employment at the University of Michigan in the next couple weeks. He had an interview, and they're asking him to fill out some more paperwork, so we're really, really hopeful.
