woo-hoo! Got a new job!!

Well, i have been looking for over a year for a new job. Got a phone call out of the blue to a place i forgot i had sent my resume to over 6 months ago. Went for an interview on Wednesday and pretty much got a job offer on the spot. Called them back yesterday, worked on a few minor details and accepted the job today! Now, i already had a job, have not been out of work, very fortunate to that degree. Just excited to be getting back to what i enjoy doing, oh and a 12% boost in pay plus same benefits for half of what i pay now doesn't hurt.
BTW, i do HVAC engineering design... commercial buildings, office space, restraunts, schools, etc.
So stoked!!

No more travelling out of the country. I missed Valentines day and my wifes birthday the last two years... and been out of the country the last two Super Bowls... so stoked!

Congrats Uncle Jesse!! Did you find work relatively local or is it outside Knox County? If you don't mind saying that is.
