The recession is over! YES- I GOT A JOB!!!! And yes, my employment status is the single most important economic indicator :)
Today was full of orientation, pampering, and the requisite somewhat-funny sexual harassment video.
A big law firm downtown, extremely low-on-the-totem-pole kind of work. Great pay, no benefits (but I am on RightHand's insurance, so no bother! (for now)).
Life has certainly changed a lot. But RightHand has not. I received this e-mail when I accepted the offer last Wednesday:

I mean, honestly!!
No matter. It is time to celebrate, and in accordance:

YAY!!!! So happy and full of hope! :)
