PROMOTION!!

[BIG K]

It is not often that one gets to actually do what one really wants to do for a living and love it. Count me as one of those fortunate few. I was able to live my dream career for twelve years. Suddenly however, my wife died and I had choices to make. Continue with my dream career, with the graveyard shifts and hazerdous environment where my then 2 year old daughter was being raised by everyone BUT me, or make a leap of faith and change careers to better take of my daughter...I chose to be a father and put my career aside...

Two years later, I was working for a great company, however without benefits and I was not full time. Last Tuesday, I was promoted to full time with full benefits and retirement!!! As I said, it is not often that one gets to fulfill their dream career. I have been so fortunate that I did that AND I am starting a new career that I love as much as the first! How cool is that? I feel like a youngster again starting from scratch...Monday through Friday, 7-3.....My little girl is so gonna appreciate that!!!!


Sorry, just wanted to share that....... :p

[Rain Man]

So YOU'RE the guy who brushes the sand of the supermodels when they're doing photo shoots on the beach. Congratulations.

[BigMeatballDave]

That is awesome! Congrats!

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Sorry to hear about your wife. I don't know what I'd do if I lost mine. Congratulations on your promotion. You deserve every perk that life has to offer you at this point.

[BIG K]

Good on ya.

Just out of curiousity, what was your dream career?

Much to everyone's dismay, I am sure, I was a Sheriff for 12 years. I loved it and I was good at it. I was not your normal 'cop'. I gave everyone respect from the get go until they proved to me that they did not deserve my respect. I was NEVER one of those 'badge heavy' assholes who had something to prove...

Fast forward two years, I now work for a local energy company and am loving every minute of it....So does my beautiful little daughter.... :)

Life CAN be good, ya know?

[Easy 6]

Wow Big K, somewhere between Heaven & Hell, my very best to you.


I guess the only good news, is that there will always be a beautiful girl hanging on your every word.


God bless you dude.

YES!

You, sir, are what a man and a father should be. I happy you're being rewarded for doing the right thing under circumstances that I can't even imagine.

Wow, AWESOME>>>

wondered what had happened to you

[Anyong Bluth]

I applaud you in your taking a chance to afford you more time to spend w/ your daughter. Not many would have the balls to do that. Congrats, and I wish only the best for you- which seems to be panning out.

[Logical]

Seems you made the right decision and now it is being rewarded. Genuine congratulations.
