i'm so glad you got something decent. my sister lost her job as an office manager with a DYFS-related company and couldn't get anything in her field. she started looking for customer service jobs and everything came with strings. employers think that people are so desperate that they can offer the butt end of a bunny and call it a job. the last job she interviewed for told her that part of the job was to clean down the mens' and ladies' rooms. that was the final straw. since she was three months short of 62, she stopped looking.
working for a small, family business is the best of all. they sound like really decent people. i know you'll be happy there. good luck.
