Morning, Gents! Hope everyone's having a wonderful week so far. Had a decent day yesterday. I spent most of the morning in what we call the "Mezzanine," an extra storage area where they store larger inventory, as well as store items they may need to run tests, or use for tests, on later. In reality, it's become a place where things go to die, think the Island of Misfit Toys. They've been cleaning this out for a while now, and I've been finishing it up. So I spent most of the morning cleaning and organizing what was left. Now on to my interview: it didn't happen. I got a call from the recruiter and was told that the guy who was interviewing me got called into a meeting, so we re-scheduled for Friday at 12 noon. Gives me more time to prep for it. I got some yesterday afternoon. I got a call from a recruiter that I've worked with in the past. I appears that a law firm off Cape is interested in me and wants to interview me for a paralegal position. If I'm offered this job I'd have a 45 minute drive to work, which is a lot closer than my 2.5 hour commute to Boston, but still...a longer commute. To be honest, I'd prefer the bank job as it offers more opportunity for advancement, but we'll see what I get in the way of offers. That's it for now. Have a good day, everyone, and we'll chat later.

How'd it go for riding the bike?
I'm hoping that's how the other candidates looked at the interview.
A pleasure, my friend.
More beer is always good, right?
I thought that's what you mean, but wasn't 100% sure.
It could work. The only thing that could sink this plan would be your DD saying, "Oh stop it, Dad, you've never been to jail."
Never been called a "galactically fine specimen" before. Should I be worried?
I did say, "goo," didn't I? Well, it wasn't too terribly gooey, but it was a decent goo.
Thanks
Watching production in real time is cool, but can be irritating at the same time. And as for the overtime? That's awesome pay for Saturday and Sunday. Bank that for future Disney trips.
That's awesome, dude! What kind of license would you be getting?
Hopefully you can get it under control.
Thanks
I do.
Thanks
Thanks
For $100 that cat better have enjoyed being felt up.
Hmm Dual purpose cameras. That'd be nice when you're out taking pictures in the woods and come across a bear.
Maybe they have a different dictionary.
I'm wondering that as well. Maybe it has something to do with making too much money. He worked for the state, so maybe the state retirement board puts a cap on how much he can make? I don't know, just tossing that out there.
Nice pics, though I'm wondering what #3 is? Almost looks like a giant robot hand with fingers.

Thanks. Looking good so far, for tomorrow.

Thanks. Appreciate that.
I don't think I've ever even bought a lens without simultaneously buying a UV filter.

I meant Solo trip. If I ever did a solo trip to WDW and didn’t take the family. I don’t think it would go over well. They would want to come. And then I would be doing mostly family stuff and not DDCC stuf.
I thought that's what you mean, but wasn't 100% sure.
I might have to try that approach
My oldest and her BF are closing in on a year together now and it’s the most serious relationship she’s had.

Morning, you galactically fine specimens of Disney lovin' masculinity.
All work, no play.

Enjoy the goo. No judgement here buddy.

Goo luck.
Thanks
Morning all. Machines were down yesterday at the plant, but when they were running, my section was 96% productive. There's some type of productivity program running on an ipad that the bosses in Japan can watch production output in real time. Amazing technology. Downside is that I begin 19/2. So yes, I'm working the next 19 days straight. I don't consider that to be the "occasional overtime", but it will be good money as each Saturday is 1.5 x time and Sunday is 2 x time.

As I thought, the interview yesterday wasn't an interview, it was an offer. I gave them a salary number, they tentatively accepted pending management approval, and will put it in writing and email me later this week. Turns out I get to also manage a budget, including hiring an assistant if necessary. They even called the team I will be working with, who already knew me from the last job, and they were happy with me as well. The bonus is that I use this towards my independent clinical license, if I ever wanted to hang my own shingle in retirement years. And, 4 weeks off per year plus holidays, and 15% salary increase when I get that license. I haven't officially accepted as I have to wait for the electronic offer. And, I have to wait from legal approval from the state retirement board. And I think I remember saying just what else could I do in September.
That's awesome, dude! What kind of license would you be getting?
Thanks. No issues Sunday or Monday. Still haven't ruled out standing, but I'm not using alcohol or cigars this week to control for those.
Hopefully you can get it under control.
Good luck at the interview.
Thanks
Do you like movies about gladiators?
I do.
Thanks.
Good luck!
Thanks
God speed. Praying.
Thanks
Did the cat enjoy it though? If so, you might see a lot if $100 bills in your future.

Better to shoot with a gun, but maybe you have one of them thar dual purpose cameras, ay?
Hmm Dual purpose cameras. That'd be nice when you're out taking pictures in the woods and come across a bear.
Holy carp. I think someone needs to look up occasional in the dictionary.
Maybe they have a different dictionary.
Congrats! Just curious...what would the retirement board have to do with it?
I'm wondering that as well. Maybe it has something to do with making too much money. He worked for the state, so maybe the state retirement board puts a cap on how much he can make? I don't know, just tossing that out there.
As requested, some of the shots from this morning.
