Well, it’s been about two months, but it appears my efforts to find a job have paid off: yesterday I accepted an offer to work as a part-time intern at Western Digital. The interview process was pretty intense (4 hours long, including a 90-minute test), but apparently I impressed them enough to earn a position. I’ll be doing about 15-20 hours a week writing software to test firmware for hard drives. I start next week.
Needless to say, Christine and I are pretty pleased. This is an answer to prayers (not just our own) and will certainly help out our current situation. Thanks to all of you who thought of us during this time, and please continue to do so as I begin work.
P.S. I’ve already gotten a few requests for discounted hard drives, so I’ll see what I can do. If it turns out that I have access to some type of friends and family discount or something, I’ll definitely let you all know (I only have about three or four regular readers, right?).

When I heard that you got a job at WD I was like…man, I bet people will be all over his nuts now for HDD’s.
Praise God, it would have been a real shame if the whole down economy and you not making it into the program you wanted would have caught you in the middle. Glad this will extend your time doing what you wanna do with school to the extent that you can.
Good luck and may this job turn into an awesome career.
