Congratulations Jess!  I'm so happy for you.  I work at home and love it. Nothing like wearing pajamas and drinking coffee all day while I work :).

Thor, Congratulations to you as well!

Looks like this is the week for employment. I, too, will be, once again, gainfully employed come the 21st of this month.

Outstanding!  :cheersmate:

Congratulations to all the recently re-employed!

EC, that's pretty sweet that you have day care nearby and can work from home.  Just my perspective, but having kidlets sure complicates the work options.

I'd say caring for Moby Dick qualified as work.
But maybe if the job market is looking up, Jeanette can escape her onerous duties for eight hours a day.

Our jobless rate did drop to 13.3% in March.  But I can't remember what our number was before the drop though.

Nah, he'll still post here after he's mopped out the video booths at the ghey pron theater.

At least there he'll get an employee discount--good for him and his ever-expanding collection.

"gay-assed, passive-aggressive tiger shark?"

You ever see the teeth on those bastards? Ain't nothin' passive about tiger sharks.

Now Thor, on the other hand, in addition to his standard gig in mopping out gay pron video stalls, he passes out the assless chaps after cleaning off the KY jelly from the legs.

It's his new calling. He loves it.

^5 for your honesty, even though you tried to **** me over like your prototypical politician/Hollywierd ****er.

And FWIW, I won't get Newports.  I'm thinking a cigar to mark the end of the outage would be nice.  There's a cigar shop on Route 1 right outside the plant.

They've got some Esencia Churchills that I think would be nice, and only about $12 a pop.  I mean yeah, some pre-ban Cuban cigars would be awesome, but I'll take a nice Nicaraguan/Costa Rican one any day.
