I finally got hired! Not only that, but after I decided to target a very stable job in government, that's exactly what I got. Now I just have to get through a year's probationary period and then they'll never get rid of me

I subsisted on unemployment and project work for a year before this happened, so I am extraordinarily grateful and proud of myself for being hired. I have a lot to bring to the state and I can't wait to get started.
