Good for you, congratulations.
Is the Hood in any way related to the impending job, or are you just celebrating?
Cheers

Congratulations guy. I hope this is going to be "the one" for you. May the Hood soon be sailing the seas of your stash.

Good for you!
The Hood is extremely tempting right now, but I promised myself not to add to the stash (mods for current models do not apply ) until I get to the last model. Sooo tempting.

Oh would that that were true. SIGH.
Actually, I can't speak for Steve, but there is plenty of employment, if you don't mind asking, "would you like fries with that?" Now a job that pays all the bills, doesn't require you to work every weekend and holiday, and doesn't involve some totally mindless activity for 8 hours a day is another story. My current gig misses the boat on all three.
Here's hoping your new position is much better Steve.

It promises to be quite taxing . My sister aided me in getting this job and told me the boss is extremely demanding. But then again, my sister thinks she knows tough. She never had to work for a raging drunk, 5 12 hour days then a 6 hour and another 2 on the weekends. It is in the law field which I am extremely happy about since Iam a schoolded paralegal....now I will beocme a trained one as well. So I figure if I survive a month, I'll celebrate by either bying the Hood, orif the Alabama is soon to be released wait for her. This muchis certain, if I am there after 6 months, the stash will be full of a few small other goodies as well as the battleships.

Glad to hear you've gotten a job Steve.
Roger, I have one of those mindless jobs for 8 hours a day or night, it's called "State Employee", pays great, benefits excellent, the hardest thing I did last night was take 3 water samples and test them, and decide on what flavoured yogurt I felt like having. :-)

Steve, congratulations!!!! I'm in a slightly different place. At the end of February, I'll be leaving Ford after almost 30 years. They've made me an offer I'd be crazy not to take. (The LAST time I "did" crazy involved going through Jackson Arch :-) :-) :-) )
So I'll be retiring, and the next day I'll start working for a friend and ex-Ford alum at a company he started several years ago doing aftermarket work on Mustangs. That's going to be a lot of fun after 30 years at THIS place!!
Tom

Congratulations Tom. Sounds like you hit the jackpot, a nice sum from Ford and a job you love. Can't beat that with a stick.
