Good going.

I'm in the process of having to seek new streams of income in the financial services sector since the mortgage business is rather flat right now, a direction that had someone asked me this time last year if I would need to do, I'd have laughed at them.  But never say never, anything can happen to alter one's plans.  But like you, I'm just keeping my nose to the grindstone and making things happen around me.  I wouldn't know any other way if I tried.

.
I cannot imagine what a miserable state a man must find himself in to sit on his ass waiting for someone else to hand him his fortunes. They are not worthy of whatever freedoms others have also supplied and preserved for them. Yet, we read so many times about DU'ers that have been unemployed for years.

I say we repeal the 13th Amendment: they get their food, clothes, housing and healthcare and we actually get SOME use out of the pathetic sods.

MSB, I might have said this to you (I think I did)--as God closes one door, He opens another.  Thing is, and the DUmb****s don't grasp this, is that it's up to us to find said door.  Obviously, you found it.

Congrats on getting the job. :cheersmate:

SUCK IT DUmmies!

Just picked-up a full-time job with the Colorado Guard. I work with the project managers that oversee new construction and maintence for all military installations in Colorado. Salaray just under $42k, healthcare, working only 4 10-hour days a week with 3 hrs to be spent at the gym for manadatory PT.

I got the job because my unit where I drill sees that I'm the go-to bunny whenever extra missions come-up, I volunteer for additional classes and training and I step-up to do extra work, i.e. develop an inventory system on Excel for my section. It was an open position but they all but picked me up and carried me into the captain's office and told him to hire me. They pushed hard for me to get this job.

Lesson for liberals:

MAKE YOURSELF VALUABLE AND YOU WILL BE VALUED.

Congrats Mr. Snuggle Bunny!!! You know, I have a bunny that looks very much like the one in your avatar.

Well, Mr. S. Bunny, glad to read you have made another substantial step forward. Wish you the best...exploring the C. Rockies off the Phantom Canyon Road (leads to Cripple Creek) , and just general exploration of those hills made me happy. Found, on the Ft. Carson range, a fossil oyster that was 14-16 inches long in the limestone there.

Carried a 1911A1 , loaded, in the hills, as Griz, black bear and desperate men were to be dfound there on rare occasion. Now, you can add big cats and even more desperate men, so rather than loose cartriges, I'd carry a few mags. to go with, but I'd sure as hell be looking around....there's GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS, YOU KNOW!nEVER FOUND ANY, BUT IT WAS FUN.

Don't enter any old mines that don't have live critters going in AND OUT, methane will kill you so fast you don't even know your dying.

Oh, see if the "Lost Spur" Bar is still there, just a short jump out the range's back gate just off rt 115. Back in the day it was....interesting.......there were some ladies who spent time there......

I just caught this thread, but I was going to say when a door closes, God opens a window.  I see he has done that for you....God only helps those who help themselves and you are proof of that!

Good luck on your new job!

So what you're saying is: God wants me to jump out a window?
