Steve, Congratulations! God doing for us what we can't do for ourselves... Beautiful... This reminds me of a friend who spoke in the meeting the other night that he doesn't worry about work anymore. Everytime he's been let go, god had other plans and they turned out better. He calls it god adding by subtraction.
But my problem was 2fold, I got let go back in 2007 they say because of something I said and they turned in to a racial thing.
Then because of the No License bit--for a lot of jobs it was (NO LICENSE, NO JOB and in some cases DO NOT EVEN BOTHER APPLYING)--thats over now got license back in July but still no takeers.
Part of that is, the past, no one wants to take the chance now.
Been on many 1st interviews but no 2nds, I wonder if my previous employer is saying things, but no way of confirming that.
Plus a lot of places now are hiring only part-time so they do not have to pay various benefits.
And some could be because of age--I know for a fact a 21 year old got a position I was after. I will be 49 this year.
So what does one do--well I want back to College--but that does not pay some bills though.
Good to hear of your new job Steve - now don't get carried away and try to take on too many things!
Also I talked to a newcomer last night (weeks sober) who was worrying that his Son's next posting would be Afghanistan. Although he'd been advised that he was powerless over this and that it's just an excuse for a drink, he was teetering.
Last night he said there was a knock on his door at 2 am. There stands his son, in uniform, just back from the Falklands and now on 2 weeks leave. Where's his next posting - Canada!
Sounds like a HP moment to me.
