It's in Georgia, about 50 miles west of Atlanta. The pay is at the really low end of the scale, but it comes with benefits, and cost of living there is pretty cheap. I told them that I'd probably be working there for a year or two and then applying for a better job somewhere else, and they were fine with that. I've got to let them know by Monday, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to take it -- considering the state of the market, I really can't afford to bet on getting anything better. It's not my dream job, but it's a place to start.

One of my officemates has a bottle of scotch in his desk drawer that he's been saying we'll open when I get a job offer. Of course, he's not in the office today.

Hil that is WONDERFUL news! I am so happy for you!
It's not my dream job, but it's a place to start.The first few jobs out of school rarely are the dream jobs. Good attitude, and recognizing it's a start. So proud of you! YAY!!! When you can, I suggest a vacation to Savannah , GA. Nice little town, and by the beach, which you love so much.
I'm not here. I'm packing. Really. I swear. kinda. sort of. almost. mostly. (Have I mentioned I'm REALLY good at procrastinating? Can I get a job at that?)
