ty all guys. and tw actually they most likely will be keeping those two guys. they want me to start out in the houston office checking panel layouts and wire continuity as well as marking up panel layout, schematics and wiring diagram drawings for the cad drafters. when/if they get the job from the proposal they sent out today then i will be going to the field office shop in either PA or Denver overlooking the panels being built there. that would be a long term assignment.
i'm still at work (at the track). i'm freakin tired and still have 2.5 hours to go.

i'm nervous. really nervous. i called larry today, my ex-coworker and old hunting buddy. just to put out feelers. if he dropped the dime on me to get the job i surely won't get hired. came up negative on the phone call with him but don't know. you see we don't talk that much anymore and i can totally see him dropping said dime to secure a job for himself. late in the convo i asked him how the interview went even though he didn't mention it, specifically. now yes, the interviewing engineer said i got the job but it's been two business days and i haven't heard of a start date yet. maybe i'm just paranoid. i don't know. i won't believe that i have this job until i walk in the office on the clock.

Oh thank fuck for that. Good stuff Plthijinx. Bit worrying for a while. The 3 bucks an hour is a bit of a kick, but asyou say, that's not necessarily a static figure. Either way it's a step back into the industry. Makes me wonder though, if that other guy you spoke of did try to dump your history in and instead of it getting him the job, it just made you slightly more of a risk and hence the $3/hr cut? If that's the case, and that was their response, then they sound like pretty decent employers to me.
