Happy Dance

I got a job.
After 3 layoffs in 6 months, and a year of looking and looking.
In a state with a 12% unemployment rate.
A real job, with a good salary and benefits starting on my 1st day.
Yup, that’s medical but also dental and vision.
I haven’t been to the dentist in 3 years or gotten new glasses in as long.

But the best part of all? I think I’ll like this job.
Non-profit, well-funded, super nice people.
They think I’m just great.
I think they’re super fab.

I’m getting married 2 months from tomorrow.
I start my new job next Tuesday.
Its time to do a happy dance.

Won’t you dance with me? What has you doing a happy dance today?
