A DU Post from last week about interview fashion.

Yes I wore the pin point collar.
Third interview since I was laid off in August. First with this organization. I actually found free parking downtown so I should have known things were going my way. Public sector. It was an "informal" interview due to my preferred hiring status (hard to explain). Meeting with the direct supervisor (usually it's a 4 person panel) ...a manager sat in for a while...a took a break (supervisor smokes)...in comes the boss...we meet and she says "We're going to make this happen" .....Me: "Really?". First interview hirings AT THE INTERVIEW are unheard of.
Yep start in a few weeks. Just as my severance runs out.
I'm still waiting to hear about two other slightly higher paying positions I interviewed for last week.

The Cleveland Browns won last night after 635 days.

Oh yeah I also found out my unemployment claim was processed so I get to go back two weeks and double dip (while on severance). Hey look, they approved it.

IN-law is home from the hospital after a bit of a heart scare. Everything checked out.

Then my wife texts me - the tax return check we somehow lost? The replacement check came in the mail today. TODAY!!!

What a day!!

If you're wondering, I know it's a tax on the stupid but HELL YEAH I went and bought some lottery tickets.
Shit. Why not?

Lastly, little ones has straight A+'s so far AND she's a really really good kid.
