Are you guys ready for the big news?

You sitting down? Because this is big.

It looks like I have a job.

Yes, after many months of odd jobs and government handouts, TJL will be gainfully employed very soon.

It looks like I'm going to be working for my brother again.

You'll recall that my Brother and I parted ways back in the Spring when he decided to fold his company and go work for a relative's company doing construction supervision work.

Well, his new company is starting a 3-4 month project here in NYC shortly, and he needs me to be his assistant. It's a very important project for the government, so there's lots of paperwork and management stuff involved, so he needs an extra pair of hands to run things.

As much as I didn't want to go back into the construction biz, I really need the money and I won't have to get my hands dirty. Plus since the job is downtown, I can commute via subway.

I have to see him tomorrow to talk over the details. I am anxious to get back to work and do something besides sit on my butt all day.

;)

Congrats Dude- Get that paper!

congratulations! it is rough out there so you've been extra blessed and deservingly so!

Thank you. I was very lucky. Things are very tough out there. A friend of mine is moving out of the City and back home in a week because he can't find work in his field.
Another month and I probably would have had to do the same.

Congrats! :)

Congratulations, man. Best of luck with this.

Wow, we both got jobs at the same time! ;) Congrats Sweetie! :bighug:

Congrats on the job.

Big congrats to you!! That's wonderful news! Very exciting!!!

Congratulations!! :wave:

Congratulations and best wishes on your new job!:wave:

Great news, Tom. I was starting to get nervous that you wouldn't be able to buy me that gold bracelet for Christmas, lol.

Congratulations, and keep us posted!

:dance:

Good news, TJL! :)

FINALLY! It's about time one of us finally got successful with this stupid job hunt! It's been a year and a half and I've still been unsuccessful. I go out there to find a job doing everything I'm supposed to, including the way I act in interviews and still nothing. I still think it's because of the area I live in, my age and that I'm female.

Congrats Tom!

Congradulations and good luck. :D

Great news Tom! Congrats!

Yah, it isn't easy out there no matter what field you're in these days. I'm in that boat myself right now. Hopefully you're leading the way back to gainful employment for the rest of us!! :lol:

A round of drinks for everyone! :cheers::banana::cheer:

Congrats, Tom and Lauren :happyface Now, let's go back to the Swamp to celebrate with some homemade martinis and a few rounds of poker :D

I met with my brother and one of the heads of Jeral Construction today and we went over the details of the job, and it looks like things are a go.

We should be starting later this week.

Lots more stuff to coordinate, but we'll get there I guess.

Thanks for all the kind words folks. I am looking forward to starting something new.

Oh, keep your fingers crossed, I think they might be getting me a laptop!

For work, of course.

;)

Awesome congrats!!!

Congratulations! :)

Congratulations Tom! Go get 'em!!!

Congratulations, TJL! :clap

congrat's Tom

That's awesome news, Tom!! I wish you nothing but success. :D

Best wishes on the new job!
