Glory to God that after close to 21 months of drawing unemployment, I'm heading back to work tomorrow on a 12-month contract to test printer software for Xerox. Now I need the grace to get back in the flow of working a 40-hour-a-week job, since I've picked up some bad habits while looking for work (like sleeping in until 10:00 in the morning). Additionally, from the time I draw my last unemployment check this week until the day I draw my first full paycheck on Nov. 25--I'll be getting paid twice per month--the pickin's are going to be mighty slim. (The first paycheck in November will be only for the three days I'm scheduled to work this week.)
