I have a job!

I was offered the position this morning, within two hours of my interview. I just have to sort out Jolene's part-time job (she'll probably have to quit), and get childcare for next week.

I'm thrilled. It seems like a great company. I have a cousin there who was very helpful in getting me in. He says good things about them.

I am a bit sad about losing the family time. After a year of nearly total unemployment, I've grown accustomed to being home with my little sweeties. I'll really miss that.

Congrats Clint on the new job. With the overall nothing going on with the economy right now, it's refreshing to hear some good news.

Rickster · 05-14-2009, 02:37 PM

Cool & congrats, now I won't feel bad letting you buy lunch for everyone again this year.

tricker · 05-14-2009, 02:38 PM

i'm calling shenanigans.. now i can't call you a free loader anymore. ugh

congrats on the new job

**Clint** · 05-14-2009, 02:56 PM

Oh, I'm certainly still a freeloader. Don't get me wrong. I take advantage of anyone and everyone. Spread the word.

frostbitevinnie · 05-14-2009, 03:11 PM

WOOOOHOOOOO, Clint gots a J-O-B!! So is it in town??

Yer still gonna make the ride Sun. right?? We got some celebrating to do!!

**Clint** · 05-14-2009, 03:14 PM

It's in Little Falls, M-F, 8-5.

Heck yes I'm ridin'! In fact, I'm pretty stoked about having an actual commute where I don't have to carry a bunch of tools and work clothes. I seriously plan on getting an Aerostich to pull on over my snobbery. Rain be damned!

Thundurburd · 05-14-2009, 03:17 PM

Hey guys, is Clint a mod again?

**Clint** · 05-14-2009, 03:18 PM

No. I just ate too much for lunch.

Trapper wanted me in on something. Don't expect me to be your slave again.

Good deal! Kinda nice since you will have options of country roads or superslab. Should be a nice commute. Now all you need is a cruiser.

Naw, we can just get him some bullback bars, and a set of highway pegs for the B-12.

Great news Clint. I also see you ordered up some good weather for Sunday!

**Clint** · 05-14-2009, 11:07 PM

Looks like it might be gusty. I'll take that over rain, though. I'm not sure I'd go that far in the rain.

Thundurburd · 05-15-2009, 04:11 PM

Weather's looking better. Accuweather. Temps high of 64F and wind gusts to 17 mph, not bad if it stays this way. Looks like a go to me.

BTW, my understanding the starting place is here at 456 W Main St, Ellsworth, WI at 9:30.

Yes/no??

**Clint** · 05-15-2009, 04:25 PM

Fine with me. Rick's modified route has it included.

Yeah, weather looks fantastic. Cool enough for standard gear.

Thundurburd · 05-15-2009, 07:00 PM

Does anyone want to exchange cell phone numbers? If so PM me or email.

**Clint** · 05-15-2009, 07:17 PM

PM sent.

Vinnie's having some computer troubles, possibly lightning related. We're going to try and fix it tomorrow. If you need to get ahold of him you can let me know.
