Tradesman In Need

[shootermcbob]

Didn't even make it 3 hours after I got my yellow paper and severance pay.

I start with my new company on Wednesday. I went to apply, filled out half the application. My new boss came in the room, shook my hand, and said he just got off the phone with my previous boss. He said my old boss was nothing but complimentary about me, and sang my praises. He told me what the company does work wise and asked if they were to hire me when I could start. I told him Monday. We shook hands and he said he would call me this afternoon with his decision. Ten minutes later he called me and asked if I could start sooner. My first day is Wednesday.

So much for fishing all week long.

Happy you found something so fast. Congratulations.

Never give up on the Florida idea!  Glad you found the money train, again!

Congrats Raider!

Good deal.  Finding work isn't easy in the current economy, at least finding something that will provide a decent living with a few extras.

 

Sounds like you done good.

I think so. I'm gonna be home every night at least I was told that. So I get to see my boy everyday now. The other nice part is, after my 90 days I can get my last helper on too. He has more desire to learn this line of work than any of the under 22 year olds I've met. Plus we work dang good together. He wants to learn electrical, pipe welding, and iron working/structural welding. He ain't gonna get all that working where he's at now. Hell he called me yesterday and asked if he needed to turn in his two week notice. We've been on separate jobs the last 4 months, and he heard I had been laid off. We had planned on hitting the road with a welding company if either of us got laid off. The company had promised to hire both of us when we needed work or were ready to hire on. I got this job out of the blue for the most part. After talking it over he decided to stay put until I could bring him on where I'm at now. Which is a good thing cause his 19yr old butt is gonna become a daddy any day now. Frankly, I don't want to drag him away from his kid before he even gets a chance to know him. This man would follow me to the ends of the earth if I asked him to. He is definitely one of my only true friends.

I'd call that a win, win.

I'd say so. Funny how things seem to work out in the end.
