29aholic,

Congrats on landing a great job. You're still my neighbor!

It's nice to hear good news so thanks for sharing.

Top of the to-do list at the new place is to get the barbeque fired up for the housewarming. I hear you can get a pretty good steak in Kansas.

Chris

Congratulations on your new job!
Don't forget when you get to Kansas to change your location, and say hi to Dorthy & Toto for me.

Most hearty congratulations. Of all the posts I see, on all the boards, this kind of post makes me the happiest. Jobs, everywhere, are not easy to come by and every person who posts as you did warms my heart. Great good luck in the new job and new home.

That is terrific news! I spent 19 months unemployed (but who's counting?) After 3 months of looking, I decided to go back to school and learn a new trade. Pretty tough when you are over 50, but it lead to a great job opportunity. You can only lay brick so long...

Kinda worked backwards for me. I spent close to 20 years in the gun business but found you couldnt make a living at it doing it for someone else. I was good enough at it I never had to worry about finding a job as someone was always trying to hire me. At 30 I decided if I was going to work for someone the rest of my life it was going to be a job that paid well so started college and got a Master's Degree in Accounting. Then I was introduced to the theory of finding a job. After a rough start I became an Internal Auditor for the last company I worked for. After 4 years I figured out the extreme overnight travel was hard on an old guy and the family life. Stayed with the company but moved to a property where I didnt have to travel. Would still be there if it wasnt for the downsizing. Now I am back in Accounting.

Curtis, its great that you found a job worth taking. I am happy for you but it was nice having someone as knowledgeable as you in the same town. Will miss your fountain of knowledge as I always could count on your opinion which I valued and trusted. Thanks for all the input that you gave me and for telling me to join the SWCA.Good luck in Kansas!!!
