I just got a job offer...

My previous company had such a big heart that they decided to lay me (and plenty of others) off
5 days before Chistmas. I've been looking ever since.
With unemployment about to run out, this comes at a very good time.

The job offer is a real good job with a really, really good salary.

Haven't accepted yet, because it was verbally extended, so I'm waiting
for the email with the offer and the salary package, to get details. But
don't see myself countering or declining this offer. It really is a good offer.

My spouse is looking for a new job. He almost got fired by a terrible boss and wants out so bad. I tried to give him some hope last night that things are looking up and people will be leaving positions they hate and there will be openings. Good luck and congratulations!

My Brother is waiting for his offer letter from Corning. He was told he had a 99.9% chance of landing the job. He is an IT QA pro. He just did a contract with Westinghouse, and that ended 2 weeks ago.
