I apologies for posting a new thread here in The Dog Run, you see I am a stranger in a small town, and I don't have any friends here. If you read the last post I made, you may get an idea what is going on in my life.
My journey comes to another crossroads now. You see, yesterday I had to blow off a welding test at Rocky Mountain Welding because my wife and I are on the outs, and I was packing to head out of state. I felt bad for blowing the test off, as it's basically a foot in the door for a hard to get job. How can I refuse a good job, even if the other aspects of my life have completely changed? A very hard decision indeed. But I felt I had already made my choice.:15:
Today my truck is packed, and I was waiting for a guy to come over and buy my welder. I went to the local store to get a cup of joe and ran into Rick, the foreman at Hatfield Manufacturing. I had applied there two weeks earlier, he gave me a full interview, but said that he wasn't ready to hire anyone yet and would call me...
Rick said he wants me to come in for a welding test at his plant Monday morning 6:30 am. I told him that I was packed and ready to head out because my marriage was over, and I had a place in Arkansas. His question was: "Ok, but do you have a job in Arkansas?" Well I don't, and it hit me; how can I blow off TWO welding jobs, just because my wife and I have separated?! And it hits me I CANT!! I wont! Something divine has happened here!
Does prayer work? Well if you ask me, I will tell you that it is the most powerful force in the universe! And the advice of a mentor is the oil, that keeps us moving along!
Thanks for letting me vent, and tell my story folks. I thank you all for your support, and feel that soon I will be able to go back to what I really love, and that is hammering hot steel!! :lol:
