May be a new job upcoming for me

[mitunnelrat]

I've been pretty tight-lipped about this due to some of the circumstances, but I had an interview yesterday for a maintenance position yesterday. Same employer, but better pay and better hours, so I have a chance of actually transferring
At the same time, I have been fairly mute, but HR asked me to do a plant tour (where I already work) on Tuesday. I have a good vibe on this, and I'm hoping to update the colony with some good news soon.

It will be a huge step forward in both personal and professional development.

[mitunnelrat]

Lol. I just reread that. Can you tell I am drunk in (premature) celebration?

[Sniper-T]

And this is but one reason why you are my hero!

Congrats bud! And good luck!

[mitunnelrat]

So... I am partially your hero because I am a drunk that has his shit wired at least half tight? :D

That's great news, better jobs are always good. I've been up since 5:30am, and I'll be up until probably 8 or 9pm Saturday. I'm smoking 30lbs of brisket for my son's birthday party that's probably gonna be rained out tomorrow. I've had a few myself since my in-laws are about to get here. I'm mopping the brisket with a honey, southern comfort, brown sugar Apple juice.

[robsdak]

good for you. better money and hours are always better.

[ElevenBravo]

Congrats on the opportunity, keep us posted!!



Several months ago I took a job change, it was a BIG cut in pay but big INCREASE in working conditions.

I am still however looking for a different job at a different place with at least equal pay but cheaper insurance. I pay almost $1,000 a month for family insurance now, if I could half that it would be the same as getting a BIG pay raise!

Congrats MIT. Better job, hours, and money is always good.

[mitunnelrat]

Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted now.

EB... Damn! That insurance cost is crazy, and is almost 2/3 of my current bring home for a month.

[Vodin]

Wishing you the best outcome in the working world mitunnelrat.

[mitunnelrat]

[Domeguy]

Congratulations, I hope for the best for you. I was looking to go into our maintenance dept. when I had to retire. Most maint. work pays pretty well, so good for you!

I know it's always upsetting when the in laws come to visit, but try an keep it together, and remember the Southern Comfort goes in you.

[ElevenBravo]

Tsk tsk... waste of good whiskey. For consumption only!

[mitunnelrat]

Still looking good. They are filling 5 positions and had 5 of us in today. We have to answer by day's end whether or not we're still interested. Of course I already replied that I am.

[Katrina]

Congrats MIT Hope it was good news after all.

[ElevenBravo]

Keep us posted, and ship me some of that grilled meat!

[Gunfixr]

That's cool Mit.
Premature celebration is better than that other premature thing, if you know what I mean :)


A little whiskey isn't a waste if flavoring good food.

[Sniper-T]

So where are the pics of that brisket.

[ak474u]

So where are the pics of that brisket.

This is just one of the briskets I did 26lbs total. I had to temporarily tarp over the smoker because of the expected weather that didn't amount to much, so the smoke in the tented area was unbearable and I couldn't get a good photo.

Here:

[mitunnelrat]

So no shit, there I was... lol

[bacpacker]

What are you gonna be working on ?

[mitunnelrat]

chemical and water pumps, and some other machines designed to move and render drinking water safe that I'm not entirely familiar with yet. Valves, shaft drives... there's actuly a wide variety needed here and all I know is I'll be starting out with a grease gun mostly. Works for me

[realist]
