Not to take any limelight away from Rx,as a few of you know, I have been waiting in the wings for this job and I finally passed the interview today!!! I have been in the furniture biz for my family for 6 years and was accepted to be a partner for a furniture manufacturers rep this morning!

What this means for me is much more income, weekends off (for the first time in years) and mostly more time with the wife and kids and a job I can probalbly retire with.

I have been very stressed about the whole situation and long last it is behind me! I am so relieved.

I firmly believe that things happen In threes. Do you? My three are: 1. Major Pain got a new job a few months ago. 2. Rx has his new job as a chemist and.... 3. Myself.
Thanks HillBillyMilitia for all your good wishes....THEY CAME TRUE FOR ME!!!

YEEEHAW!!!!! XD

Sweet! Congrats on the new job!

I feel sorry for the monkey that you beat out for the job. Oh well, I guess it's government nanners for Bubbles a little while longer.

GJ KKB.

Bloop, Pdiddy, KBC and last and least ROGUE... Thanks much y'all!! KKB XD

Congrats! On the new job!...hope it goes well..

Wahooo!! Great news KKB! Maybe we can both retire and start a chemical furniture business! :)

Congrats! I guess listing "HillBilly Militia" on your resume really adds that magic touch that HR folks respond to.

^ Ya and "Hopeless Video Game Addict" also seems to work wonders!

@ KKB: Great news! :)

Are we the kids??? ;)

Scythe

Onya mate!!

Beers all round. XD

SQr

Congrats! Woot woot! XD

Congrats KKB..

No mention of more time for TT there... Hehe

-Z-

Good for you!

Glad to see you future is more secure, good for you and yuor family. Congrats KKB!

Awsome, happy to hear.

I bet it was your leadership abilities that you learned from TT that helped land it.....

Now maybe you can get a better computer to play TT on. XD

Wow! I am so flattered with all your well wishes! :)

Rx, Squiddy and I want to know if you can help us create a permanently beer proof fabric for our sofas? Seems to be "beers all around" whenever he and I post back and forth... :P

Thanks again everyone, you don't know how relieved I am over all this. I will be on TT much less for the next few months until I get settled. After that who knows. I may just show up on weekends. We'll see.

Good luck KKB , Iced Vodka for all now before you really start to work. Congratulations again.

Excellent!

Congrats KKB!

Woooot!

Furniture rep eh? Got any nice wooden end tables that double as a filing cabinet in the collection? XD

Big yippee for KKB! That must be a relief.

Now if he can figure out a way to get TT on the computers in the stores... Hmmm...

Thanks Y'all for the kind words.... The hardest part about getting the job was telling my uncle and cousins that I was leaving with a very heavy heart on my part. Many tears shed today when I told them. They said I had to do the best for me and my family, and lo and behold my uncle who owns the store whereI am leaving, gave me his "blessing" to my new "boss". Such is life sometimes and it can be bittersweet........ :[

^ :[ :[ awwwwww. Well your family should be happy that you will be makin more $$. You need to do what is best for your nuclear family.

Somehow I always envisioned you retiring as the Fred Sanford of the Family Furniture Empire.

Now you're a Suit!

But, hey, my wife would like a new dinette set and side tables for the sofa. And I'd like to use my 40% TT discount coupon, which is old now but hasn't expired.

Don't spit baccy juice on the customer's showroom floor, hillbilly. Congrats.

Also, to the principled RX and Major Pain.

Congrats kkb

What that means for you is much more taxes!!!!!!!!!

Tally and Stinky can't wait.

@KKB
Congratulations! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. You did the right thing. As the man of the house your primary responsibility is to take care of your family. You done good.

By the way, here's a tip for your new job:
When you're about to close a deal/sale but feel a little apprehensive about it or see potential danger ahead that could prevent you from closing the deal, don't hesitate to retreat alittle and wait for some help. Remember, only fools rush in... A lesson learned from Leroy on ThinkTanks. :)

^ROF Good one! Thanks Pai! XD

^ ROF ?? Rolling on floor ??? Did your chair just break mate ?? Do you need a hand getting up ??? XD

Hope you didnt spill ya beer !!
