Well, After being unemployed for the past 8 months....I am now a part of the working class again and I just got through with my first work week today. I happened to find a machine shop about 20 minutes from my house which was considering hiring a new CAD drafter/designer. I went in and put in an application/resume. They called me back in the first time to talk with the General manager and the other drafter I would be working with. Then I was called back in to talk with the owner. The next day, I got a call from the owners wife telling me to be there Monday at 7am. And just like that, I was no longer unemployed! :)

After my first week, I am really happy with this job, and excited about my future here. I really like the job itself alot better than the last place I was working, as well as the environment and co-workers. This, plus abit better money, fully covered health insurance paid for by the company, and just as good benefits(vacations and such) means a happy me. The company seems like it should be a real interesting job. They deal mainly with coal mining equipment. They completely recondition alot of equipment, as well as building equipment from scratch as well.

Anyways, Just thought I would let you guys know what i've been up to and let you know the good news. Now hopefully I can get back to my interests(which includes shooting). :D

I am using AutoCad and Inventor(another AutoDesk program based on 3-D).

I am not quite sure what i've got on my schedule this weekend, but I wouldnt' be opposed if I can swing it. I know tomorrow i'm gonna try to get out on the lake, but other than that...i'm not quite sure. I should know a rough schedule by later this evening, waiting to hear from my dad on possible plans. I'll keep an eye on how it plays out. :)

Congrats on the new job. From past experience, being unemployed (or even under-employed) sucks big time.

And it's a big +1 that you like the work and the folks you're working with, too.
