    Greg Schmelzer What are you looking at?!

    Well, guys. It finally happened. I got myself a job. I am now an industrial engineer for Lincoln Snacks in Lincoln, Ne. Most of you know their product. Fiddle Faddle, Poppycock and Screamin' Yellow Zonkers.

    It only took 11 months after getting fired from Tyson Foods because I needed to take care of my daughter's health needs instead of making the company first.

    She is doing much better and I am now employed again. It is, however, 120 miles a day round trip and a $16K pay cut, but at least I have something to do now!!

    Holy crap, it's 12:20. I better get to bed. Not used to that anymore!! :laugh:

    Todd, I'll be on 1st shift for 2-4 weeks for training and then it's off to 2d shift. Don't really like 2d shift but what's a guy to do? :Do No: Was told if someone wants to change shift, I could get to 3d, but...

    Gerry, it was most definitely a 'no-brainer' to do it the way I did. If I hadn't intervened when and how I did, she would most likely be dead right now. Several of her user 'friends' are now dead and I think that it really drove home that it was all done out of love. Can't imagine what life would be like without "Squeak". :ball:
