Bwahaha! Big announcement and a dream come true!

[Azaelius]

Wow! Everyone thanks so much for all the support and kind words!

So, Story continued from today: I went in today for the final sit-down and talk and whatnot, turns out, I'm already hired. Done. Just got a couple more forms to fill out, then I start soon. Will update when I know for sure when I start.

Now, to answer individual posts, haha.

Welcome to the club!

Ahaha that happens, but the guys who work there now usually respond like this: "Do you want my opinion, or what the cigar is officially supposed to taste like?" Did the same thing at the ol' job, but with electronics, haha.

That may be true for many places, but this place is great. I've asked the employees, and almost all of them straight up said they really like if not love working there

I hope you have better luck than I did.

Wow... that sounds like a sucky b&m... like, really really bad... this one isn't like that. they keep employees an average of 6 years or so, and it's a fairly tight-knit group of good folks. I'm friends with the owner's son and have made friends with the owner, and I am very happy to say they are, in fact, not lying scumbags, haha. Not in the least.
