Congrats. I lost mine back in October but did find one in January but it meant I've had to live 1500 miles from my family since then. Just no way to sell our house and we didn't want to pull our girls out of school. I'm hoping for something to get me back home soon.

About time!

Well done mate. This is the one you interviewed for last week? I think I read on FB you said you had been for one.

So do tell: what will you be doing? Nuclear Reactor Safety Officer like the great Homer Simpson?

A job! Now that's a rare thing to hear over here. After the crash that almost cancelled everything out , I had to go back into constuction in this economy. And here in the auto triangle, it's dig in and hold on. Or is that hold on and dig deeper? Must be optistic, MUST be optimistic, MUST BE optimistic, MUST BE OPTIMISTIC. Oh heck, I'll just dig deeper and build kits from the stash.
