    Start my new job next week

    I've been looking for work since my wife got her job offer here in Reno.
    I got hired today and start next week. I'll be working four 10 hour days.
    I will have Sundays off so I can go to church and do IDPA matches.
    I'm looking forward to the IDPA match this Sunday.

    All the best in your new job. Keep you eyes open and you mouth shut, until you figure out who is who and what is what, in that new job.

    Figuring out the job politics will take you much farther than anything else. Must be someone there in upper-management that you can coat-tail who, loves church, firearms, or whatever.

    My wife will be working on my off days. That's going to kind of suck, but it just means I'll have plenty of time to go shooting.

    Congrats on the job! I work for the state and in 8 years had to move around 6 times just to get a decent salary! One agency I worked 4 10's and loved it. Took me a long time to get used to 5 8's.

    It's been a very long time since I last worked four 10 hour days. I've been doing five 8's for over ten years. It is going to be nice having three days off.

    Congrats on the new job! I did 5-10's for quite a few years. Loved it, as I didn't have to work Saturdays.

    Me: Son, do you know why God gave us 2 ears and one mouth?
    Son: why daddy?
    Me: So we can listen twice as much as we speak.

    Good advice. Best to stay out of office gossip as well. I’m not sure what field you’re in but in the medical profession, heavens knows those girls gossip.
