New job. Hell yeah!

Hello all,
After all of the bad news and whining and such that I normally post, I've finally got some good news. Yay. I went for a second interview today for a great job, and I got it! Not only does it pay almost double what I was making before, but it offers great healthcare at no expense to me, dental for only $5 a month, and will pay for me to go to college. I start in January. Hurray! And on top of it all, my brother-in-law works there and I'll have a familiar person to talk with and such. Sooo, I'm pretty stoked. Thought I'd do a bit of bragging. Hee hee.

Thanks, guys. I miss you peeps, too. My computer crashed a bit back, and for some reason TB wouldn't load right on this tablet, so I downloaded the mobile version, but it wouldn't let me post. I tried just the other day to log on, in the browser, and it let me this time and seems to be working okay. Not trying to change the subject, but does anyone else have that issue with the mobile version?

i no longer use the mobile version unless i need to upload pix. (m)Iphone works great by disabling quotes, avatars, etc. in full page mode. (i live in the woods and have no computer)

That's great! Glad your having some good luck! :-)

Mobile has issues and they aren't consistent. Some days I can't access threads and some days I can't log off. And some days it kicks me off in the middle of posting just for fun.

Nice! It took me a long time to get through college and get a good job. Now things are way better for me.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of work did you get?
