I have a job!!

Congrats!

Even better. Just got another call to say that the hours will be 9 to 5:30pm every day! Nice!

I'm a wee bit nervous about tomorrow. Hope I'll do okay!

Thanks again to all for your well wishes!

Good luck and have fun, Reyn.

I am absolutely delighted to hear this, Reyn!

At last, at last!!!!

Good luck for your first day!

(Just one down side, I hope this doesn't mean that we'll see next to nothing of you around these parts?)

Reyn, for your first day at work, I packed you a lunch. Appropriately, it is an Airstream lunchbox. Enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS, Reyn !
LOTS of GOOD LUCK !





David

Congratulations on the job, Reyn.

I'm not sure. I'll try to pop in briefly, probably in the morning.


hehe, Cute lunchbox!


Who says he can only spell phonetically? Thanks, David.


I seem to remember some time back it took you some time to find employment again. I now have an appreciation for that.


Thanks again everybody! Here's hoping my first day goes okay!

Great news, Reyn. Good luck today.

I have since got my B licence. I will be driving school bus come September. A lot easier than the manual labour I was doing, but less fullfilling as my career as a Systems Manager.

Good luck in your new endeavour.

OH REYN...... BL**DY BRILLIANT LOVE....... BRILLIANT NEWS....

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you too

I hope that the kids at school are nice to the NooB today!

Reyn- Congrats!!!! That is wonderful news. You are going to do just great.

One word of advice. Stay off the computer at work, at least until you are absolutely indispensable.

In order to become "absolutely indispensable" you must have something on the boss. Find out who he/she is sleeping with!

Oh, I'm so glad to hear your good news, Reyn! I'm anxious to hear how your first day goes...

I sure hope Reyn is having a good day. I bet he's exhausted though.

ditto.

I don't care if it takes him three days to respond. I'm just interested and hoping all goes well.

Wonderful news ,Reyn.

Waiting for first day report, too!

I'm afraid it didn't go well for me. I'm embarrassed to have to say that I had to tell my supervisor that the work wasn't working out for me.

I'm not afraid of hard work, but there were way too many heavy items like fridges, air conditioning units, etc, to move and lift. So, after 6 hours, I had to pack it in.

I could see that it was a wonderful company to work for, fair and friendly folks, but I honestly could see that it wasn't going to work out. I told my boss that I had to be honest and he appreciated that.

I did have a minor accident in the morning. I lost my balance while on a bit of a rickety ladder, pulling down a heavyish box from an upper rack and fell. I was grateful I didn't do myself an injury.

To top it all off, the bloody steel toe boots I had, where doing a rotten number on my feet. Oh, I hated them, and have sores to prove it.

Oh well, I've learned a lesson not to apply for similar jobs like this. It's just a bit embarrassing as to how it all worked out.

I really would like a job that I can continue doing as I get older. I just made a bad choice with this one.

I still have an outstanding resume on a full time dishwashing job for a major extended care home here. I think I can be a strong contender on this one, as I have had previous experience in another home.

Thanks to all who wished me well in this thread. I feel a little awkward. It was hard explaining it to my wife, but she was very understanding and supportive.
