Got the job! I start tomorrow morning. And its right on the border!
The Mexican border that is. In Otay Mesa, Southeast San Diego county.
I'll be doing CNC and robotic programming for a big marine and office furniture firm. This place supplies the Navy, on 3 coasts, with lockers, wardrobes, office furniture and medical supply cabinets. They are one of only three in the country that make these products for the military. I'll be programming the CNC turret punch presses and the robotic conveyor and part moving systems attached to the punches.
And it not a sweat job either. I have my own small air conditioned office and will be sitting at a computer all day. Yah-fucken-hoo!:woohoo: Now I wont be in such excruciating back and leg pain from my job.

I just turned 50 and things are looking better.
Did I mention that my ex-wife and I might be getting back together after 9 years apart?:hug:

Looking forward and in a positive view for a change.

8. Thanks. Its touch and go with my ex.
We were married 18 years and split. After our trials and tribulations we've both realized that we still love each other greatly. We spent last weekend talking. Talking about things we probably should have 10-20 years ago.

12. This is great news, Mav! Oh, and BTW, did you ever make it to Saffron,
the Thai chicken joint next to El Indio on India St.? (sorry to threadjack, I'm just a bit of a true believer in that place trying to get as many converts as possible)

14. If you're hungry, get a half or whole roast chicken depending on how many
you have.

I believe you can call in an order and go pick up, also, site and menus here: :hi:
