Hey all. I know I've asked for quite a few positive thoughts and prayers lately, but I just need some continued prayers. I just got a call back from an interview that I'm moving forward in the the process to get back into the tech field. It's not a done deal yet as I still have to meet with their HR, but It's the best news I've had in months. I'm trying not to be too excited until I have an offer in hand, but I'm shaking right now at the thought of getting out of that warehouse back to guaranteed hours and getting back into what I love doing. If so, I'll be back here for most games again. Again, trying not to get overly excited, but I'm near tears at the thought of this.

I feel for you there has been talk at work about losing full-time hours and I have a family that I support. This has been incredibly stressful and would make me feel like less of a man.

I hope that doesn't happen for you. Even at my warehouse job, hours have been cut a bit. I've gotten sent home early a few nights. That's both good and bad. All the more reason for me to get out of there.

Praying for you to get that job!!!

I know from past personal experience how stressful it is not being in control of doing what you really enjoy.

Hope it comes quickly!!!
Younger me used to think I'd be ok doing just about anything. I don't mind work. But man, this warehouse job has taught me that I've found something I do not enjoy one...single....bit.

Good luck. It sucks working jobs that you hate. I know. I did it a lot.
As far as you being able to watch games live. I'm not sure that is a health improvement for you. I know how you are during games.
In all seriousness I hope you land the job.

Nah, it's a mental health improvement. Even if I do get cranky, it's cathartic. And it's WAAAAAY better than when it was Cal's last couple of stints. I know with Pope he's at least gonna try and not pontificate to us.

good luck to you
I have been fortunate in my life to basically always have a "decent" job.
I haven't always like the job, but it was a steady pay check.
Luckily, I am now at the end of my work time and pull the trigger any time, but even doing that is a scare

Hell yeah man that's great news. You got this. I'm like you and try not to get excited until it's 100% but it sounds like your close. Prayers up.

Thanks everyone. Just don't have alot of BBN buds down here to talk to (lots of Card fans surprisingly) so it's just nice to have a place to come to and share life stuff too. Appreciate it.

What type of IT work are you gearing towards? Is it just general IT or a specific area of IT?

Eventually security. This is going to be a np entry level position in. Healthcare IT.
I need to get back to reading my Hacking and Security (Rheinwerk) book. At some point I'll have to put Windows 10 on one of my three pc's unless I learn how to set up and run a VM and install Win 10 from there.

Right now I'm doing order picking with a cherry picker. Production goal is 18 picks per hour. The other day one of my "picks" required stacking 130 boxes into a large carton. Insane and as a temp I'm only making $17 per hour. I'm hoping to get some experience at cherry picker and moving onto better pay and schedule. I hate working 5 days per week.

Yup, I used to be a line worker at UPS, first truck so I had to make sure every package was flipped over for the rest of the belt while picking my own truck. Lots of fun when treadmills came down and I had to lift 200 pounds into a semi by myself.

I just left a warehouse job I was in for the past 6 years. Picking up 60lb boxes of primer all day isn't great on the ole back. Hope you get some good news soon.
