I got the Job I’ve just heard that the job I went for about 10 or so days ago at the post office I've got it. Wow I’m so shocked that I have, amazing, so pleased. It’s only until Christmas but it’s work for now which is great. I might have a glass of wine tonight to celebrate. Today is becoming a good day for sure.

Congratulations Kevin. A temporary job until Christmas ,may not be the greatest result, but will certainly make a big difference during this expensive time of year.

Hey that's great! At least you'll have income until Christmas, and you can work on finding something that will start after that is over! Congrats!

@kevin1877uk Places are always hiring. Retail might be hard right about now, but other types of work won't be. Tax offices might start hiring soon... at least here they do.

@kevin1877uk Our taxes are due by April, but people start filing as early as January as soon as they receive their papers. So the tax places start hiring for help. I guess yours won't be hiring quite as soon.. but you never know.

Congratulations. Any job is good, no matter how long it is for. It helps as you will have extra money coming in at least for a short time, but it will help you in the end. In this economy. anything is sure better than nothing. That is why I am here on mylot, as it might only be $10 a month, but that is an extra $10 I wouldn't have otherwise.

@kevin1877uk That is great. I have never made that much in one month in here, at last not yet, but who knows, one of these times I just might. I am just happy to make the payout.

Congradulations on getting the Post office job. And, don't think of it as just temp work. Put all of your effort into it as if you know its a full time forever job, and it might BECOME a forever job. I don't work at a post office, but the corporation I work for often keeps several of its seasonal hires if they do good.

Congratulations Kev on the new job. Give it your all because you never know who is watching you. Sometimes temporary positions have turned into full time ones when you have been the right person in the right place. :D Christmas is beginning to look merrier lol...
