I have not worked since the middle of July. It has been a real drag, let me tell you. It was supposed to be for 2 months. Then furlough got extended to 3 months, and then again to 5½ months. But soon everything's going to change.
Before my furlough was extended a second time I found out that a rather well-known (to this crowd) manufacturing facility in Exeter, NH was looking for machinists, so I threw my hat in the ring. They interviewed me remotely and within 4 hours they offered me a pretty good package. Well, we slowed down and thought about it and decided that it really wouldn't be a good idea to move out of PA right now. As soon as my forced time off was extended a second time I contacted that company again and asked if the offer was still on the table. Not only did they still want me, they offered me more money (that's how busy they are).
Yes, there are other opportunities in our area, but we've been wanting a change, and New Hampshire seemed to be a big enough change. My wife likes the beach and I like history, so there's plenty of both to keep us happy for quite some time. Incidentally, on the day I called SIG back I got a call from Ruger about a job, and about a week later Smith & Wesson called as well. When it rains it pours.
Does this mean I'll get to go to SHOT now?
