I was laid off on September 11th of last year (of all the days huh?) and have been out of work since then... until now!!!

I interviewed at a glass company yesterday that does auto, residential, and commercial glass. My last job I was working at a commercial glass company as an estimator bidding on jobs in upwards of 5.5 million dollars. At the interview yesterday they asked how I organized my bids and proposals at my last job and they loved me! How do I know? Because I am typing this from MY OFFICE DESK! I am so happy to be back to work and don't have to worry as much about money and searching for work. At my last job I was one of two estimators, but here I am THE COMMERCIAL ESTIMATOR. I am a bit nervous because at my last job the work load was overwhelming with 2 estimators. Here I am the only one! Long work days here I come!

Thanks guys! I have been making an effort to be more active on the site, but I think this workload is going to keep me plenty busy! I won't forget about my marauder brothers though! haha... By the way, I don't have a wife to spend my money yet, instead I have a great girl that I enjoy spending money on! We will see if that shoe ever changes foot to her spending my money though! hahaha

By the way, here is a pic of my girlfriend who is a beautiful person both inside and outside! I have never been happier with any other girl!

That really is my girl... not some waitress!

Thank you everyone for your support!

Congrats on the new job. It is good to be employed!

Being unemployed was definitely an eye opener! When I was unemployed hearing people complain about their job was starting to piss me off. I would tell people to be thankful they even had a job! The few months off was nice collecting money for a bit, but I am ready to get back to work and this company is really impressed with me. They asked when I could start right after I got done answering their question "What did you do at your last job. They were really impressed and I was in my office with my new e-mail address the next morning!

It is good to be employed!

Congrats TJ, I have been there before and still know several guys who were laid off last year from my company still looking for work. Never a fun situation after the 1st week or 2.

I have actually interviewed at a couple places over the last year or so. I turned down a couple of offers and then sent people I knew over there to apply instead. Figure I have a job even if I don't like it for now I know people who can't pay their bills. So far I have put 8 people who got laid off from my company back to work at other places where I looked or knew someone.

Nice job! I wish I had a friend like you! hahaha... I couldn't pass on this offer and the company was dying to have me on board. It is about a 1/2 hour drive to work, but I was doing that at my last job, so that is no biggie

Thank you. She is super nice and super hot! After my last girl, she was a nice change of pace! I want to spend time with her instead of with my ex where it felt like a chore hanging out with her! I am in a really good place right now and I would be surprised if I died tomorrow the way my luck is going! haha
