I'm gonna have to rethink my blog now. It was supposed to be about the struggles of finding a job, but as of today...
*Hallelujah*
I HAVE A JOB!!!!!
I am an employed Social Work Care Manager for MJHS. They finally called me today (after 5:00 pm, mind you) to officially offer me the job. They said my background check was clear and that my references were glowing. They offered me more money than I was hoping for complete with vacation, sick days, personal days and health insurance.
I am ecstatic! I got off the phone with the HR guy @ MJHS and completely lost it. I tried to call my husband to tell him the news but he was on the subway. I called my mom and couldn't get the words out, I was crying so hard.
I am relieved. I start on November 28th, which is great since my parents will be here for Thanksgiving and are leaving on the 28th. I have to go shopping and buy some new clothes for my fancy new job.
Did I mention I was excited?! I feel like I am in a fog. I don't know what to do. Sam wants me to start calling everyone I know to share the news, but I feel almost frozen. My grandma was so excited and proud and can finally tell all her old biddy friends that her granddaughter is employed and didn't go to Columbia for nothing.
Thanks to all of you who read this (is that presumptuous to think that people actually read this) and crossed your fingers for me. It helped.
I'm employed! I don't have to sell plasma or get a job at the local coffee shop (although they are hiring).
Next stop - getting my license so I can make it official!

You kick ass!!!
I'm so proud of you. I never doubted you for a minute but it's nice that someone else knows what a great social worker you're going to be. I knew that eventually you would find the perfect job. I just hope that MJHS lives up to your expectations.
Just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you.
Love.
Hey! Congratulations! You totally deserve to have this great job and your hard work and patience paid off. Just don't stop blogging! I really like reading about the stuff you are up to- it's like I can live New York vicariously through you.

Congratulations!!!!!
How exciting,I'm so happy for you:)
Old biddy friends? Good thing your G-ma doesn't know how to use a computer!!!
Bob and I are SO proud of you. We've always had faith in you and your ability--I knew Columbia was worth it--sometimes it just takes time. But you better remember where home REALLY is!!!!
Love you--see you in 9 days.
Love,
Mom (and Bob) (and Tika who is SO excited for you).
