Congrats! But, does this mean you'll have to cut back on quilting? Is being gainfully employed worth it?

Hi Mardi,

Heaps of Congratulations and Good Luck on getting this job! I just wanted to mention that I tend to use homoeopathic remedies, and that I've found Rhus Tox and/or Arnica to be especially good for arthritic type pains and stiffness. Working at a Winery,....might just be a few hic... perks in that? Hic oo:-) Bestest, Lynn

Good for you! I also was hired into the first job I interviewed for after 9 months of a lay off. I celebrate my one year anniversary next friday! You will get MORE quilting done now, believe me. Folks think getting laid off is like a forced vacation but looking for a job is a JOB! I did very little quilting during my hiatus. You will do well! It sounds like a wonderful job. Take two gold stars out of petty cash!

luck is wished and prayers/good thoughts are flying across the country even now

Congrats, Mardi. I hope you are physically able to handle the job. 6 months seems to be the average time for finding a new job these days!

Whooohoooo indeed. A JOB..and one in your field.. thats wonderful! I hope all will go well for you with it. Diana

You can do it! And Congratulations!!

My dad wears turtlenecks to keep his neck warm. Just that bit of support too is a huge help.

Good for you, thats certainly an upper!

I'm impressed. I was a programmer for years - COBOL but haven't worked now for about 12 years (and I'm only 49). I don't think I could learn a new language and remember everything anymore. I'm thinking of getting something part time in retail. Debra in Idaho

omygosh that's such great news! Why don't you consider making room in your budget and schedule RIGHT NOW for massage therapy on your shoulders and neck??????????? With that kind of medical attention to your neck (it is NOT a luxury) you should be able to stick with it. Thanks for letting us know.

Now I suppose you won't be dying many fabrics, hmm? darn.

Best of luck, Mardi! I hope it's everything you want and need! :)

Good luck! I hope it all works out for you!!

Rather than reply to each post individually, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. This is really a great group of people!

I got a massage today (I treated myself) and I am pain free. I had forgotten how good it felt. I am going to get a weekly massage for a while. I think between that and working again, I may be on the road to recovery...or at least to learning how to live with chronic pain.

Again...thanks everyone!
