cue the victory dance

I win! I'm finally employed. It's a temp position, but who cares?! It's money. I did my first day today. It's dead boring, clerical stuff, helping clean up a database for a publishing house, but it's easy, nice money and a relaxed environment. And the cherry on top? When I left the office building this afternoon, it was snowing! Just a tiny bit, the flakes melting as they hit the ground- but still real snow. I was so pleased, I sms'ed Jono to share in my joy. His response: There is something to be said for having cocktails on a summer evening in JHB. Bastard! I'm so jealous.

No real news, but thanks so much to all those people who sent me encouraging words while I was unemployed and down
