WIFE: She got the job she interviewed for the day before yesterday. It bears repeating that this is a pretty amazing coincidence. She’s getting this from the temp to hire agency that got her her last job. They called her after seeing her resume on Linked in because they had a job that they thought would be perfect for her, and they hadn’t even known that she was currently unemployed. It just happened to happen right after she got laid off. The job paid a little better than her last one did, and is a temp to hire which is likely to pay even more after she is hired in six months. This puts us money ahead because we can now keep the money she got for her severance package, the money for her COBRA coverage, and the extra money I’ve made. The plan is to use some of that to improve her credit rating so that we can go forward with the original plan of refinancing and be all the way out of financial trouble in a few months. This is awesome news.
