Well, today I received my first paycheck in almost three years. (I don’t count unemployment compensation.) It was anti-climatic I am sorry to say, maybe because I’ve been working so hard to earn it these past few weeks.
But it is a big deal and no small feat. It represents a lot of work, not just since I’ve been hired, but the entire time I was doing the job search.
Writing this blog, at this moment, is forcing me to take a moment, open the envelope and peak inside.
Money.
For a job well done.
