Job, Heather, thank you for the comments. You are right. I kind of felt that it would be a bit too much, but I could not resist. Thanks for keeping me in line. I sent the e-mail without these two sentences. I also let him know that I applied for a permanent job and got an offer, without going into the details. Will see if he is curious to ask more questions.
I have another week until I start my new job. They are actually still doing the background and references checks on me. It should all pass just fine. I’m excited about the job. Even though it is not exactly what I wanted (I was hoping for a contract, because there is more money and lets me be independent), but it will allow me to live comfortably and stay local, so I can resume my GAL activities.
Heather, I feel your pain. I don’t have any more advice except to take one day at a time.
I think it is a good time to start a new thread.
