Great! Congratulations, plt! 3 bucks is not too big a deal when you are going from working at the track to engineering. When do you start, then?

It's Helen Keller. I liked it too. It is to remind me that complacency is somewhere in the middle.

Here are more quotes from her you might like.

@ plt. I agree with kerosene.

Off topic question. Do YOU use much calculus in engineering?

drfroth · 01-27-2011, 02:52 PM

Way to go bro... surprised I had to read about it here rather than getting a text from you...

Oh well... great news all the same. I guess you will no longer be in danger of getting plowed by the little bastards at work.

I heard they were going to replace you with a wheelchair bound midget with only one arm to increase productivity in the pit...hahaha.

Just kidding. You will be missed. Good luck with the new gig.

plthijinx · 01-27-2011, 08:50 PM

froth? the midget, if he has my radio quality voice, can do the job! just put him on the mic. i will miss this job. but i won't be quitting quite yet. i will work both jobs for about a month or so. at least until i catch up on debts. after that....i will be able to come watch your bands' gigs! i'm super excited about that!

@sky, no not really. well i personally never have. i'm electrical so there's really no use for it. we have charts and tables and spreadsheets to figure out what's needed. be it cable size, wire size, conduit fill, cable tray fill....the list goes on....

at kero and all....still waiting on the date. i thought i was going to start last monday but my job shop and the firm are in contract negotiations so that's why i'm kinda up in the air. the email though i received yesterday confirmed that i do indeed have the job.

Clodfobble · 01-27-2011, 10:22 PM

Awesome! Way to go plthijinx!

plthijinx · 01-27-2011, 10:25 PM

kerosene · 01-28-2011, 11:58 AM

Very happy for you

plthijinx · 02-03-2011, 03:53 PM

i have to say that as of lately, waiting to start this job been real nervous at to why i haven't been called in. it's as i thought, waiting on a job proposal. the following is an e-mail i just now received:

Fred here is what David respond to me just few minutes ago so just hold on.

TheMercenary · 02-03-2011, 04:28 PM

Congrats mate! Well done!

SO when and were are you moving for the job?

zippyt · 02-03-2011, 04:36 PM

Damn Gubment !!!

plthijinx · 02-03-2011, 05:39 PM

@merc - that remains to be seen. i would like denver because it's closer to home and i can make the flight myself to come see my son when i can and be on my own schedule and not the carriers. also i've been there before so it's a little more familiar. closest i've ever been to PA is over it on the way home from europe when i used to travel there every year. but really i don't care. where ever the job sends me i'm going to give it my 120%. period.
