Man it seemed like it was gonna take forever! Even though it wasn't long at all compared to many people out there (I really do feel bad). But for those that remember, I was laid off on Nov 7th, so almost 2 months. I've never in my life been unemployed before though so it just seemed like a long time. Some may also remember (I think I had posted it), but right after I got laid off I had an interview at a place called Greenleaf Auto Recyclers for a dismantler position. They had already had somebody else lined up when they interviewed me, and were waiting to hear a yes or no from him. He said yes and took the job, so of course I didn't get it. Then last week, a month and a half later, the guy from Greenleaf called me back and left me a voicemail...."hey just wondering if you had ever found a job, we have a position open here if you're still interested". Called him back... turns out the other guy didn't work out, and I was top on his list (he had a couple other applicants also), so he wanted me to come back in if I still wanted it. Went in today, and they have to do the background check and drug test and everything, but if all goes smoothly I should be starting next week sometime

Thank god.... unemployment blows!!!! [:@][&:] And now I get to drive forklifts around too.... fun stuff!!

 

Thats great. What are you going to do? pull parts or prep the incoming cars?

 

Just got a job myself today

I only been laid off two weeks though.

 

If I need a part, I'll call ya.

 

sounds like fun man, i get bored cutting meat all day ha ha

 

Pretty much just pull motor and tranny, fenders and doors, and a few other things from every vehicle. Then catalog all the parts and put into appropriate shelves. There's more detailto it than that, but that's the jist of it. Then ship out the carcass and pull in another one

 

I'd love to have that as a side job.

 

Congratulations Jared, you deserve it. Didn't you say it was like a good pay increase too? Hope so, way to go mang.

 

Way to go 100k Iron mang!

 

Congratulations Jared!! I hope it all works out for you. Taking apart stuff sounds like much more fun than putting them back together again.
