Finally!!!

I start work Monday morning.

After 20 months of unemployment I now have a job across the street from the factory I was working at.

I had actually gotten two job offers in one day and after deciding which one I would take I received another phone call for another job oppertunity . Going to check that one out cause they offer a better benefits package.

I will be working in my chosen profession as an industrial maintenance tech. Good money and I get to go back to school so I can receive my journyman certification.

Well it looks nothing like a knife right now. In fact right now it looks like about 2 quarts worth of black sand. In fact this new job will be a godsend for help in making that knife as it is a sintering facility. I can temper it a lot easier in an electric furnace than I can in a coke fired retort.

I even have another job interview Friday morning. Going to see what kind of benifits they have.

It is always easier to find a job when you have a job.

Are either of these jobs going to cause a problem for your coming to the LBL?  If so quit now so you don't have to agonize over it later .

Sure glad you got the job Slag!! Congratulations!!

When I was offered the job I told them that I needed the first weekend in Feb off and they said "that wont be a problem"  so I am covered.

Well I have now compleated 3 whole days at my new place of employment . It feels good to be back at work but this place is going to be taking some getting used to. It is a sintering "powder metal" facility, that means dirty, oily and nasty. That is no big deal but every factory has a background noise to it and this one has a real funky one to it. It takes some getting used to before you can actually understand what someone is saying to you . Then there is the funky lay out of the lines and machines  . BUT that is all right I will learn it and it shouldnt take to long. After labor day I go onto second shift thats a bummer but I will make the most of it. It will mean hunting in the mornings and it will make it a little trickier seeing my daughter but we will manage.
I am not complaining I just praise the lord I am back to work!
