Congratulations seem to be the order, so congrats Dave.

Thanks all. I'm really nervous, but trying to hide it well. ;D Start tomorrow morning.

Nice Dave, the nervousness will leave in a nick of time.

Are any of you guys as young as you used to be?
What I lack in youth I shall make up in grim determination and pure cussedness.
-
No my brain does not allow me to think back that far but then I'm not as old as I'm yet to be either. I'll be happy with the age I am and go with that. ;)
Rhys
-

hey wisdom of old people
we should be revered - or at least 'eared'
like elephants we remember bones of our fallen and the trails of our youth
YAY for it all - we are useful when we can teach someone :)
How about when we remember? They too will learn
arr sorry - forgot that decorum is required when you are over 40 :)
yes I remember is not only a dance - but a fact
Shine Dave :) - between me and you - its the same stuff - just dished up differently
and the wheel of industry has a cog that can say NO??? or Why?
excuse me for voicing it all
My Dad always said 'The squeakng wheel - gets the oil" - wow true - lets keep it that way :)

elephants are so utterly wonderful, beautiful, loving creatures. :)
unless you mess with their young, or a big bull elephant chases you. then they do not appear so loving. but still wonderful and beautiful.
you are as wise and strong as an elephant dave. carry on with your bad self in that new job. 8)

you will do well! don't be afraid you are a wonderful person

Hello,
I would like to know how your job is going. It not like going into grade one, I don't think! You can not be that nervous. :) ;)
I too know you will do well and God will be with you.

It's physically harder than I have been used to for most of the recent past. I have come home sore and exhausted most days, and gone to work still a little beat from the previous day. This morning, however, I feel pretty good. I've been through this before...first your're weak, then you get strong, then--if it continues without rest--you get weak again.
It's certainly not my 'dream job', but I like the people there and it may turn into something 'better', but not if I don't do THIS well.
Anyway, gotta run go do it.
-
I would really love to know how many of us here on the forum are working in our 'DREAM' job.
For me it's survival and I thank God that I don't really hate my job. After 15 years at it, I am cool with it, but I don't love it. :)
I can't stop giving God thanks that I've been continuously employed!

Congrats on your new job, Dave. :)
My "dream job" is to become one of God's Elect! I really like the Boss and His plan for the future! 8)

What would you say to being a slave under pharaoh ? same here - its just another worldly fear - some say we need to work under taskmasters some plainly battle in that area, its a matter of priority
some say we blessed if we get a Job some don't give a hoot - we have our source and the well is said to be deep -
wanting to get to that place ...

Congrats! I know how exciting it is to land a new job! :-)
Remember what our "fearless leader" sez:
Now that you will be rich --you are obligated to SHARE with the poor (who may or may not want to work!)
Anyway--politics aside: May God be with you in your new venture!
-
Thanks Claudia, it's all Him!
And Dave, you know that's right! I know how you feel brother. I recently started up a second job making pizza dough for Little Ceasars. It's been a couple of months now. That first day.... I was like "Help me into bed, I can't lift my legs"
But now I'm like this after work... "Woohoo, lets put our roller skates on kids and go skating!"
Then my kids sing the "Dad is great, for letting us go Skate.... Dad is great, for letting us go skate" song.....
haha okay, the song didn't happen, but the first part did. I think our bodies get used to beatings after a few days.

Oh, JohnChris,
I know what you mean. A while back I read a book called "48 days to the work you love" and it changed my percpective on work and play. This is one of the sayings out of he book...
“The masters in the art of living make little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure. Their minds and their bodies, their information and the their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which; they simply pursue their vision of excellence at whatever they do leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing.” James A. Michener
If I remember correctly, in the Hebrew language, there is no word for "work". The word is "avo-da" and means "worship".
Anyhoo, it's really good information for those that want to think about changing professions or jobs. It asks the right type of questions like "What did you do as a kid that made you feel like you were 'in the zone'"? What do you just naturally think about that you enjoy throughout the day? What do you do when your NOT getting paid?
God has made so many different people, with so many cool and differing abilities, it's absolutely amazing!
I have a young friend who makes natural bird cages out of twigs and limbs he gets from the woods out by his home. He posts them on a website and people buy His hand made bird cages!!! That's how he makes a living!!!! AMAZING! So cool to see God doing all this stuff. :)

And then there were two...
I fill out hiring paperwork for another job monday. I'm not sure I can make two work, but the new boss tells me it's doable and my current one is willing to be flexible to a large degree too. Both of them are part-time. Welcome to the new economy, Dave. ;D Some of my co-workers work three. Kinda makes me cringe to hear some folks talk about the "poor" the way some folks do. Oh well.
-
Excellent.........keep trying and you will soon have 3 ;D

congrats Dave

I'm giving lots of "thank yous" to God for you new job, Dave! :D
