Earlier I had said I was staying home today to make phone calls. One of those phone calls yielded an interview and I start working tomorrow. It is a try out more or less but I do not anticipate any problems with the work.
The job is fairly straight forward and simple. I will be making anti-erosion straw wattles. I cannot help the sense of relief that I feel not to mention a healthy dose of excitement. This period has been extremely stressful. Quite a few of you have left helpful comments and have been very supporting. I cannot thank this community enough.
I start at 9 am tomorrow and it is a full time job. I was supposed to start earlier but they called while I was writing this and moved it back because the person that is going to show me what I will be doing cannot get there until then. There is so much I am going to be learning and I also find that exciting. I love learning new things and it is even a job that helps the environment.
Congratulations!

That’s all it is. You just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem… and you solve the next one… and then the next. And If you solve enough problems, you get to come home. All right, questions?" - The Martian
That is fantastic news glad you got a start at a new job. Hope it works out well for you.
