Default Might have a job soon

I tried being 'retired', but it isn't working (insert rim-shot here). I have a second interview either Thursday the 17th or Monday. The company is small and has 3 employees in North America so I will be busy. I don't want to say the name just yet but Ill say it has to do with shooting sports, and its not a firearms dealer. There is going to be some travel involved and training in Switzerland near Zurich. Might be really fun.

What is this work thing you speak of........

I guess if they're going to send you around the world to nice places on their dime........looks like a pretty good gig.

I like being retired but free travel sounds good.

My last regular ~40/wk job was in the early 80's, flying all over the country, tons of fun, I loved it, there was a period of time that the job was seriously lacking in work load.....but when it picked up, it was FUN.......walked in one AM and got confronted by a rapidly growing pile of incoming parts, hauled up to the engineering floor overnight, and a ~6" thick stack of D size drawings of just WTF I was supposed to assemble......lead assembler, Debby, got the job of the circuit cards....about a dozen of them, while I went to work on the mechanical crap.....

Sounds like a party job to me....

Gpt a call today from the local office that there was a call into the Swiss office to get me onboard. Looks like its all over but the crying. the pay isnt as great as you would think but at this point I appreciate a decent job over awesome pay. They will want me to start the week after next. Apparently there is the Shot Show going on in Vegas which is where the local guy is all next week. Would have been cool to go to that with him I think..
