conv: I was incredibly grateful when job payment came through *just* in the nick of time. I went from feeling scared and desperate to grateful and optimistic. Have you ever been in a situation when payment of some kind has come through *just* in the nick of time?! Talk about gratitude! I bet that must have been nerve wracking until it happened. Absolutely. You go from scared and desperate to grateful and optimistic in one quick moment! It's not a situation I wish to be in again. Oh I'm sure. I would not like to be in a situation like that. Good thing everything worked out for you.
