Finally, Some Good News...
It's been a rough few months here in Gonzoland, (as you can see in this thread.)
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, "**** 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.
Best of luck. |

When I read "security", I think "Mall Cop" and now can't help but picture you as Kevin James.
