I got a job

I went on my first interview last Wednesday, which i thought went well. On Sunday they called me letting me know I got the job, and I just finished my first day. I will be working American hours, which means that my hours could vary anywhere from 3PM to 7 AM. While at first I was not to happy about that, I now think this may be a good thing, as if I can get my schedule to be 10 PM to 6 AM, then I will be able to see my kids as much as I did when I was unemployed. In any case, it's a job, and I am happy about that. i am working for a debt collection agency. It seems to be a really cut throat industry, so I will either succeed and make a decent living, or I will realize that this industry is not for me. The fact that I like to talk definitely helps.
For the first 30 days of training, my hours are 3-11 PM. After that is completed, they will likely shift to a later time. The location is great, in Jerusalem, at the intersection of King George and Ben Yehudah (which means I will be eating a lot at Melech Hafalafel (at least while I'm working in the afternoon)).
Overall, I am relived to be working, as another major milestone on our Aliyah journey has been accomplished. Next on the list is converting my American driver's license to an Israeli one. After that, the next big step will be getting a car, but for now, I'm just happy to be working.
