I am hired!
« on: November 20, 2013, 09:01:09 PM »
Well folks, I got great news.  

Sometime ago, I posted my recent life in response to a DUmmie whining about his life.  The last year and a half has been a real struggle. I managed to start and grow a business in a very tough economic environment.  I wish I could say that I was awarded a contract that would take my business from struggling to maybe stable, but that wasn't in the cards.

I was offered a new job last week making double what I was making on my own, with less responsibility, and much closer to my two kids.  I kept slogging and got to a good spot again.  

Now all I need is a (new) wife (not yet, for all of the reasons), a house, and a dog.
