follow up to yesterdays post about the job interview

 got hired at General Atomics. 

Temp to hire job, cable assembly. 

Most likely, just a foot in the door job, but, it will take many months to see where this goes, or leads. 

Thanks for the good wishes!

    1. thanks, but, HA! I have no talent I enjoy that I can get a job at. I did get a job as a photographer of cars, at a dealership, until Covid came along, and seriously, that was TOPS! I had a LOT of time during every day to surf the web, and blog, for hours, at work, every day! It was really cool! But I've only been recognized by you, and other readers, for blogging. Photographing, finding, sharing... this car blog stuff. Job stuff, mechanics, electronics, machine repair, technician stuff? It's the only way I've found to get a paycheck in this world.

    1. employed, at more than the last job paid, back in the air conditioning? That's definitely in the right direction. I really wanted to get a job being paid to blog, with a travel allowance. THAT is the dream

    1. Lol, thanks! Believe it or not, the sub force also has a variant of that saying, I learned it in the early 90s as "Illegitimi non carborundum". But then, for some nutty reason, the Navy gives a latin phrase to most subs, my 1st sub the 717, was Este Paratus. They skipped the latin on my 2nd sub, the 759, and just laid out the phrase "When Any Exigence Calls" instead of Cum Quaelibet Exigentia Vocat
