Congratulations! Hope you can find the right type of shoe for the job. Working 7-10 will give you the rest of the day. Because of my medical issues I am not able to take on a job. I might have to leave and never know when I am going to have a bad bout. I wish i could. Could sure use the money.

She can relax and not so stressful by doing 3 hours a day. I also hope I can find one like this.

It is really good! I have got a job now. It is my first job. Now my mom ask me go home and spend some time to buy new clothes and shoes for the job. She think worker is different from student. So I have to ear in a former way and act as i am mature enough. I hope all things are ok with you.

Hey, you know what? I am happy for you as I know you have schizophrenia and you manage to find a job. That way you can do something with your life not only at home and I wish you all the best. The prayers worked indeed.

I am very happy for you that you finally found a job. I this time, the work is a rare thing, you think only of the fact that I find myself at the age of 37 years, unfortunately, still unemployed! I hope for a better future, where everyone has the right to have at least what they deserve. So, if I have well understood your question, did you decide to celebrate your intake by purchasing a pair of new shoes. Ok, everyone celebrates in his own way.

Sometimes part time is good enough. I know that when I am working full time it tends to be too much. I am now doing a combination of part time things and I am happy with it. I hope all goes well and you enjoy this job.

Once you get the money, I mean your salary, treat yourself in one of your favorite fast food places there, for doing a good job. Next, aim for savings. Save a lot. You know why Jesus is so rich, it is because Jesus Saves!

That's great. It's always a good feeling to experience the satisfaction of having to work for a job that would give you the opportunity to prove your worth and the convenience of still having more time to spend with family after work. It's difficult to get work nowadays especially with employers who think twice before deciding to take a risk on you with their hard-earned investments. So just appreciate the fact that you were hired and be be the best that you can be in your new job. Congratulations and best wishes. Cheers!

The first time landing on a good job bring along happy moments and responsibilities. It is good to celebrate such an achievement with friends. At the same time, there are expenses to meet. Maybe you need a new wardrobe, new shoes and increase in bus air. The other factor to consider is that new responsibility call for greater heights of efforts to cope.
