After reading all this, I'm happy to hear you took the job. You can always find another, but one thing is for sure, it is easier to find a job when you have one.
Back in 09 I spent 9 months in the unemployment line. Worst 9 moths ever. Interviews at least three times a week and nothing. The first place that would give me job was a lawn care company doing door to door sales. I was only there 3 months before something better was offered.
