If you have followed my saga here it is in a nutshell:
Oct 2014: boss retired, I got laid off - 20 years at the job.
Feb 2015: Got part time job at DD school, turned into full time and got fired (unfairly IMO, but ok)..that happened in March 2016
Got a potential job with the county, but the hiring process is over 7 months and meanwhile I have an almost full time job with former co-workers who formed their own business. They offered me a permanent position while waiting on the county and I took it. 3 days later the county called offered the position and I turned it down due to the time frame it took them and they wouldn't disclose any information on benefits or pay. May 2017 learned that the company will merge with another company.. when that happened no position for me as they had already 2 admins that didn't have enough work. I keep with them on a contract basis but working a retail job to have a paycheck coming in. Working at Krogers (which is King Soopers in my state).. which isn't too horrible. I work at the customer service desk but we also have to work at the fuel center which SUCKS... have you ever had to empty gas station trash?? That is NASTY!! But as of Jan 2nd... I have a job.. FINALLY....
I GOT A FULL TIME JOB.. with the State of Colorado, with huge benefits, regular hours, weekends off.. just like a normal job. Pay is a little less that I wanted but more than what I am making now. And the process was less than a week (week and half).. They offered me the job the SAME day. After applying for literally 100s of jobs since 2014.. and getting close to many many of them... this was practically easy (which kinda worries me.. lol). Anyways, thought I would share.. I tried to keep this short.

Congratulations! The retirement benefit will be worth it in gold vs a little bit lower pay.

What great news to start the day, congrats. On a side note, how does the county fill any poisitions if it takes them seven months and they won't give you basic info like salary and benefits??
