It's been a rough few months here in Gonzoland, (as you can see in this thread.) (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=223340)
I received an official offer from a great company today in their security department.
I applied for the position nearly 1.5 months ago and had all but given up on it until I received a call about 10 days ago to interview. It was a job that I coveted as soon as I saw it hit the want ads. I was already familiar with their operation and was acquainted with a few of their employees via my previous company. This position is getting back to what I do well. No more P&L Management or sales bullshit. I hated that crap. This company could very well be my employer for the next 25 years. The job security, benefits and pay are better than what I was making.
I start Monday morning at 0800. I am definitely going to miss staying at home and doing stuff with my kid every day, (and exchanging witty banter with all of you for 8 hours a day) but it's time.
Lumpy has been great though all of this. I actually received an offer from my old company a few months ago. She knew I didn't want the position and the hours sucked. Her exact words were, "Fuck that. Stay at home and cook my dinner. Something better will come along soon." I am so glad I listened...
Thanks Babe! ;)
Wish me luck!
And thanks to all of you that were there with kind words and support during such difficult times. Especially Bugeater and Flopnuts. You guys are awesome.
:)

Security? Oh, shit... You're not doing inceptions like Leo, are you? Don't wander into any dreams from someone on this site, you might get traumatized. :D
Best of luck.

More physical. With my background I'm sure they'll add some e-security and safety responsibility in the upcoming months.

If you were ever to try self employment, make sure you have a damn good plan, because you're going to be stigmatized if you have to enter back into the workforce. That's what I am running into now.

Nope, that was dealing with something completely foreign to me. This is for a large company in Omaha. And thanks.

I just placed an ad on Craigslist for a new house-bitch. Thus far I've received 2 responses. The first one was from a guy named Bruce. It sounded like he was more interested in cleaning Gonzo and not my house though. Meh. The second one was from a guy named Pablo. He appears to be confused about the job though b/c he sent me a pic of him with his shirt off and holding a Miller Light. :shrug: Well, at least we won't go thirsty... Pablo it is! :D
Seriously guys, thanks for the well wishes! I just hope that this new beginning for Gonzo will be an easy one. We have had a rough couple of years and a break like this was definitely needed!

Thanks man. I find myself a little anxious today about the new gig. I think I'll like it but its going to be a huge adjustment. My old job was a high management position and I'm used to being in charge. Every company I've ever worked for has promoted me quickly but I won't be allowed a promotion for at least one year here.
But with higher positions comes less job security so I have that going for me, which is nice.
