Best of the best wishes to you in 2014.


My year ended on a high note.

Your pal Trill went out got herself a job.

A real, full-time job.

A real, full-time job in her chosen profession.

It's not a dream job, but it's a good job. And yes, at this juncture for me any job is a good job. Any job is a dream job. But this is a good job in the sense that it's a good job regardless of my unemployment status. I would have left my old job for this job.

It's not a "makes all of what I've endured the past four years worth it" kind of job, but, it's a good job.

After 1,610 days unemployed I was offered a job.

Finally, finally, an employer and everyone on the involved teams recognized and appreciated the value of my education and experience and wanted to hire me because of my credentials. This time I wasn't the runner-up, I was the first choice. And, if I do say so myself, I am the perfect person for this role. And finally an employer thought that, as well.

So 2014 is already off to a fabulous start for me, for I am no longer unemployed.

And there is much rejoicing.
