After several months of filling out applications after applications and going through interview after interview, I finally got a job with the state! Specifically, the Dept of Health Services. I'll be working in the Medi-Cal division, Member Rights - anti-fraid stuff and all. I'm very very excited! It's been a very long road. I'll start in about 3 weeks, as soon as all the paperwork goes through. ;D

Thanks everyone!
I am very excited. There's a lot of perks for working for the state. Yes there is the grind of the work, but you get holidays off, paid vacation, sick days, retirement plans, health coverage. A particular perk for me is that the nearby park has a Farmer's Market every Tuesday (during good weather). I've always wanted to eat more fruits and the supermarket stuff never seems to last very long.
And yes, Ube, I should get a proper desk. The state makes sure to have everything ergonomic. They don't want any work-related injuries.
I like the people I've met so far. I went in to sign the paperwork and was introduced to a few. They're very friendly.
And I know this sounds weird, but I'm not exactly sure how much I'll get paid, but I do know the minimum. They're going through some re-working of the position and it used to be that everyone started at Rank A unless you had special qualifications to start at Rank B or C. But they redid stuff and now everyone who has a Bachelor's Degree (which is me) automatically starts in Rank C. There's about $2,000 per month difference between A and C. A is $2,700 a month and C is $4,300 a month. That's a whole lot more than the measely $800-$1,000 I've been making!
And my health care costs will decrease since the plan will be group rather than individual. So I'll actually be able to afford to go to the doctor's and get my hand and other problems taken care of!
The only problem right now is that I'm still working at my current-soon to be old job and he's giving me less and less work to do. So I won't have as much money as I was hoping to get me through August. No matter when I start in August, my first paycheck won't be till Sept 1st. I know I can rely on my parents to lend me some money, I just don't want to do that if I don't have to. They've supported me so much throughout my life.
Anywho, I'll let you all know more once I know.
Thanks again for all of your support and friendship! ^_^

@ Sarah
Looks like everything is falling on it's feet again for you, even though you will be short in money for the upcoming weeks, you know that will change soon!
Just make sure before you go to a doctor with your hand, that there isn't some sort of a testperiod before you can profit of those rights.
Good luck with your new start!
