    Follow Up--My how things can change

    Just thought I'd update again, with another turn of the tide.

    Remember that in early March Grandpa received notice that his hours had been cut drastically and I wasn't going to be able to make my trustee payments and would either get dismissed for non-payment or convert to a Ch 7? I wasn't going to be able to keep my health insurance and it would be a scramble just to buy groceries.

    Well, it's all changed again.

    Last Saturday I received a call from a headhunter I had sent a resume to about 10 years ago. He was looking for someone to fill a position at a local well-known non-profit. I sent my resume and interviewed Monday, accepted the position on Tuesday and started work on Wednesday. Our income more than doubled in a matter of 2 days.

    The really cool part is before I filed bk 2 1/2 years ago, I was told I was not employable because I had been out of the workforce too long. I didn't have a current work history. Well, to the know-it-all placement agency that said that....

    It looks like we are gonna make it after all.
    I used to have a life, now I have grandkids.

                  Incredible news!

                  We should have a "Wonderul News" section on the forum, for threads like these. So when we are all BLaaaaah, BK sucks, economy sucks, and need a little "pick me up", we can go straight to the "Wonderul News" section so we can all be reminded that things do get better and having faith in ourselves and our what ever "powers that be" we believe in is something to hold on to.


                  Too much downer news out there that helps keep us down and pessimistic, but these little triumphs, no matter how big or small keep us plugging away at life knowing there is hope on the other side of BK.

                  Well done Granny!

                          I agree on creating a wonderful section.

                          Glad to hear things are looking up for you Granny. So... getting rid of most of your debt and doubling income? not too shabby
