You did what you had to do and it worked itself out. People must be willing to help themselves and not just expect everything to fall in their laps. Well said Dru!

This was a great opportunity for me to move back to the US since I was away from my family for so many years. I did have a hard time finding a job and was unemployed for 1 month. I ended up taking a position 2 hours away. It paid me enough so I could actually pay rent and travel expences plus the biggest benefit was I was able to feed my children. When Gas Prices reached over $3.00/gallon I talked to my boss and she changed my schedule so I could Drive down Monday morning, leave Tuesday after work, work from my house on Wednesday, then drive down Thursday morning and come home Friday after work. After a year of that schedule she introduced me to her friend that had a company closer to my house and now I work there. 30 minutes away from my house. My point, if you need to feed your family take anything because something is better than nothing. It doesn't mean you can't keep looking but at least you can have an income while you look.
