    I feel almost bad writing this since I know a lot of you are hunting for good jobs, but I have some good news! And maybe give some of you a little hope that it may take awhile, but eventually good things come...

    DH got an offer yesterday from my company!!! And no, I didn't get it for him! For those of you who don't know, he got out of  the Army about a year ago, was unemployed for about 5 months (no unemployment, either! The Army is not so good at the soldier-civilian transition unfortunately) and has been working at Target for barely $12 an hour since....and hating his life essentially. He wasn't even this depressed when he was deployed! He has an engineering degree and the Target job was a huge step down and back for him, and his sense of pride has really take a hit (which is a main reason he served in the Army anyways). Now he'll be working in the aerospace and defense industry and he's thrilled 

    And, finally, we can get on with our lives.

    *happy dance*

    How come he didn't get unemployment?  When I got out I got 6 months worth.  That really sucks that they screwed him out of that.  Its wonderful that he finally got his dream job. Congratulations!!!

    Thanks everyone! I'm still happy dancing it up in my cube

    @cincity75, I don't know, he didn't get squat though. Maybe because he was a Captain or because he transitioned to the Reserves.
