New trial employment opportunity

[thatcrazycajun]

After an interview that went amazingly well, the owner of a printing operation in Kennesaw, GA, about 30 mins. north of Atlanta proper (back in that same neighborhood, up I-75 northwest again...what is it about print shops and that area?) has invited me to spend a day (and hopefully more) working with him to see if I can mesh with their operation and fill a production vacancy. If it works out, I will have a salaried job (as opposed to the hourly wage most print shops seem to like paying their prepress folks) with at least $35K plus bennies a year. Pray, cross fingers or other extremities, and send other sorts of good thoughts my way if you would.

And please, God in heaven, do NOT let me screw this one up.

At a guess, the rent is cheaper for the size and space of operation they need to have.

Good luck! We're pulling for you!

You can do it! Just remember to ask for more work when you run out, and if they don't have any, don't make any.

Sending lots of good thoughts your way. Salary is good. Bennies is better! Good luck!

This is a great example of what started out very bad having the potential for turning out very good.

You've got an opportunity for a salary & bennies, not just hanging on by your fingernails. YOU CAN DO THIS.

I've watched you for the past decade and more now and I think that if you remember exactly what you were telling yourself about why you lost the last one (and make it a point to very studiously avoid ALL of those behaviors FROM NOW ON -- no recriminations, no guilt, both time-wasters and soul-killers, just acknowledge the cause, CORRECT IT, move forward with commitment and determination) and you will do well from now on.

Remember NASA. Remember the last one. There is a pattern. YOU created the pattern; YOU *HAVE* the power to uncreate it and create a new one that serves you better. YOU CAN DO THIS!! Bon chance, mon ami!
