Some of you here are aware that I have been on the hunt for a new job. The one I have had for the last ten years has gone south. It's become a very hostile work enviorment to say the least. The No Tobacco Policy they want to force me to sign is the least of my worries.
One instance was they accused me of stealing company equipment to the point of walking in to sherrifs deputies one day. If I had not kept an equipment inventory list (That apparently the company president forgot he signed off on it a couple of years ago) on file, who knows how that would have turned out.


Anyways, ever since that day I have been carefully biding my time searching for a job that I hope I can retire from. I went on an interview last week with Loudoun County Virginia for a position in the Public Saftey Vehicle Department. Basically, I would be directly under the Fleet Manager for the whole county. I would be a glorified technical advisor for their Fire & EMS system.
They called me in for a second interview today, this time one on one with the County Director. They just called to say the job is mine and, I have been their first choice all along. They are going to work out the salary offer and let me know by the end of the week. The benefits are awesome with a pension plan and Defered Comp. matched dollar for dollar up to almost thirty dollars a day.

Wish me luck that it works out so that I can give my notice at the end of the week and tell them where to stick the no tobacco form. :thumbs:
 
Sounds like a coosh gig John. Run with it. And two middle fingers in the air as you walk out of your current gig.
 
All the best with the new position. I love to hear stories like this where the good guy wins in the end. And don't leave without giving the two fingered salute!
 
Good luck John...always nice to tell your boss to kiss your ass. Keep in mind though, you are
exchanging one boss for another. It's always better to become your own boss where it's hard to kiss your own ass,
so your employees get to do that. :D ...Full circle huh?

Great news John! Hope everything turns out well for you in this new endeavor and you don't have to deal with the same shit you've been putting up with!
 
Awesome John!

Since I do technology consulting, if I can help don't hesitate to ping me.
 
Congratulations, John. That is most excellent news! It truly sounds like a dream job. I hope you're going to celebrate this up. :)
