Almost a year to the day of when my last place of employment closed its doors and left me without a job (12/21/12), and a very rough 2013 of searching, I was offered a position today that I have accepted. I was holding out as long as I could for a job that paid close to what I'm used to earning, but the unemployment checks are about to run out, and I could no longer be picky. I start the first of the year, and I cannot wait to get back to work!!
