Finally,

After a month of training, a month of school, and a 3 week job hunt (read: vacation)  I've finally hired on with a Drilling Fluids Company.  Anchor Drilling Fluids USA.

They've ordered my company vehicle (read:  2007 Chevy Silverado), Laptop, and Cellular phone.  It may be tacky to let everyone know what my starting salary is, so lets just say...  it's at least double what i was making as a Target employee.  (plus per diem expenses, paid gas, medical, dental, 401k etc.)    I had my physical, piss-test, and MotorVehicle records checked this week  I should start on thursday. 

Hope everyone @ Target is doing well.  Guess what i did on Black Friday?  I SLEPT IN 'TILL ABOUT 10:00.    (end gloat)
