Temporary Job is Better than No Job

I am extraordinarily thankful this morning to have received a temporary job offer here at the university for the next 6 months. I have job applications out elsewhere, but have yet to hear anything back from any of them so I've been staring impending joblessness dead in the face since I defended. (I had managed to pretty much ignore it while writing, other than to submit a few applications). I have little to no idea what I'll actually be doing in this position, though I know that it won't just be be a continuation of my present research. And for that, I am grateful as well! I think a change of direction right now would do me a world of good. So today is a good day. I am going to be employed, and I am grateful.
