Title: I got a job....
Post by: rednekrubbrduck on Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM
 But it ll put a damper on our camping.  It s at a local Subaru/Isuzu dealership as a salesman.  Only get 1 day off in mid week (weds, or thursday), and sundays off.  And don t get a vacation till after a year.  BUt it s a job..with benefits.  I don t start till beginning of Feb. by my choice cause of all the appts next week, and the one court date.  Also...the idiot stepfather is in jail, and is looking at about 25 years for what he did to DS, now we have to protect him from his idiot eggdonor.

 rednekrubbrduckCONGRATULATIONS!!!!  I am so happy to hear that you got a job Ian.  Maybe the camping thing can work out.  If Lori can get things set up at the site, then you can go an meet her and Logan on Saturday nights.  Best of luck with the court issue.  Glad to hear things are going a little better for you.

 rednekrubbrduckThanks everyone so far.  I thought about sending Lori out to get things set up early, but with this job...I may be able to get things set up on Thursday...commute from the campground (only about 20 miles from house...and new job is about a mile from me), and come home on sunday.  We ll see.  Most important thing is getting back on our feet, and I think I m pretty lucky in getting this job with all the layoffs around here...there s not much 9-5 with weekends and hollidays off available.

 rednekrubbrduckCongrats and good luck!  I know that " sales"  is not something I could do.
 
 BTW: Mid-week camping is the best!  Been doing this for almost 9 years now as our " days off"  are Wednesday & Thursday.  Wouldn t give it up for the world even though we have the seniority to name the days off we want.  You may find this to be a good thing.

 rednekrubbrduckAs a proud and happy Isuzu Trooper owner ( 96-110,000 miles on it and still going strong!), I say you couldn t have chosen a better dealership![;)]
 
 But seriously, Ian, that s wonderful news!  Also glad to hear that the egg donor s husband (anyone who hurts a child doesn t deserve to be called a " father" --step or otherwise) is locked away where he can t get at your son.  Hopefully your ex wil be able to look past her own selfishness and do what s best for Logan.
 
 You re all still in our prayers! And congrats again for finally getting to the top of that mountain.  The rest will all fall into place!

 rednekrubbrduckThanks again everyone...still not completely sure about the job yet.  All signs point to that I have the job.  Met with another guy yesterday at the dealership.  Still sounds like I m hired...but only 95% sure.  They haven t technically said I m hired yet...so keeping my fingers crossed.

 rednekrubbrduckMany congrats on the job!
 
 Just remember this line, " Yes Ma am as a matter of fact your Isuzu can tow a 35  trailer. What color would you like it in?"
