Started a new job today

Thanks all!  First week is done, and still so far so good!  In case anyone hadn't put it together by now, it is the Oshkosh Corporation.

MR TOM SCHRY

Glamdring, Congrats on the new positioin.  Before I retired, I taught at an elementary school down the street from your place of employment and their vehicles drove by our playground every day!  There is a great Hobby Town down the street and the city where you work has two modeling clubs.  There is also a small hole in the wall hobby shop in a city 15 miles south.  I have the same idea as you about building kits of every vehicle that your place of employment produces.  My stash of them is slowly growing.  Good luck with the new position.

 

I was just on site for initial training, but I will otherwise be a remote worker.  I wish I'd have known there was a hobby shop there, I would have detoured on the way home!  If I ever head back I'll have to check it out.

Congratulations.  Sounds like a great gig.  I have a good guess of the organization - military manufacturer in Wisconsin . 

 

 

 

Hmmm...do they perhaps make fire-fighting equipment as well?

Congrats and Best of Luck on the new gig.!!

 

Yeah, fire trucks, cement mixers...and even race cars!

Congrats to you on the new job Glamdring. I can just imagine what working in the finance department for such a place is going to be like... "I'm sorry sir, you don't qualify for our low APR top buyers good credit program..." 

 

I can tell you it's a lot of complex spreadsheets.  I have been doing things I didn't even know Excel could do!

'yes we have a thirty day return policy, but only if the unit has minimal wear'.

this is fun.

Congratulations and much success in your new job!

Congratulations; we're happy for you.

Wish I could get a job or something .  .  .  This "Groundhog Day" life I'm living is starting to get real old.

So, enjoy it while you can!!

Well!   

       Congrats! I know the feeling when my job was Phased out! Good Luck and let us see those Vehicles soon.

Good news, mate - congratulations!  I hope all goes well (and you'll be well-placed for detail info for those builds you mentioned)

Congratulations Glamdring. I hope it all goes well for you mate.

Yeah, a rather obvious hint.  

Thanks guys, it is just refreshing to get out of the last toxic job and live off a severance for a couple months to recharge the batteries.  I was very lucky to get to do so.

Hey so ask around. there's bound to be some treadhead modelers in there.
