God is good! You have been a inspiration to many now we can have our own posts you can follow! You turned into a mighty fine cabber and wrapper and your personality was and is and will be a large contribution where ever God Plants You.

I am glad you found something that works for you!
I really like seeing your cabochon photos, so hopefully you still have a little time for that 🙂.

I always cite the rule of "never accept a job when its first offered; and never turn it down when its first offered. It makes you more attractive to be considering them and to be considering your own welfare. You did it right (it seems) and now have a good challenge to do the job. Congratulations.

Happy to hear you were able to find a job working for a good person. I don't think you ever want to work (certainly not in my case!) but it is always easier to work for people you like. Sorry to hear you won't have as much rock time, life kinda took over on that front for me as well. Good to hear someone like you having good things happen to them.

Congratulations.....and just think of all the exotic rocks you can buy with this new source of income!😁 Thanks Bill! Yeah...I need to get my "wish list" back out now! LOL God is good! You have been a inspiration to many now we can have our own posts you can follow! You turned into a mighty fine cabber and wrapper and your personality was and is and will be a large contribution where ever God Plants You. Thanks Johnny! I've already gotten a kick out of giving away rocks...and I think it's just going to get better and better! No doubt, you will do well in your new job! Best of luck. I'm glad you will still post on this forum, as time permits. Thanks Garry! It does bother me that I am not responding to people sooner than what I am...so I'm going to have to work some replied into my lunch...which I don't actually take one...so I REALLY have to figure it out! LOL Enjoy your new position and sell a lot of flooring to make those happy vibes come true. Thanks Victor! I'm hoping that's really going to be the case! I am glad you found something that works for you! I really like seeing your cabochon photos, so hopefully you still have a little time for that 🙂. Thank you so much! I've had one particular Crazy Lace on dop for awhile...I might see about sneaking down to do that one (at least) tomorrow sometime! We'll see if I can remember how to cab...it's been awhile! LOL I always cite the rule of "never accept a job when its first offered; and never turn it down when its first offered. It makes you more attractive to be considering them and to be considering your own welfare. You did it right (it seems) and now have a good challenge to do the job. Congratulations. Thanks Tom! Yeah...I wasn't about to give a "yes" as soon as they offered it to me. I already knew what I was thinking and what my wife was going to say...but I did say I wanted to check with her first...that way I had a reason to "delay" the acceptance just a hair!

Sorry to hear you won't have as much rock time, life kinda took over on that front for me as well. Good to hear someone like you having good things happen to them. Thanks Perk! I looked and looked on the job websites...and I couldn't find one place willing to pay me to sit around in my boxer shorts eating Cheetos all day...so I figured I'd better start looking for something else! LOL

Congratulations and welcome back to the grind. I'm a big believer that when things are meant to happen, they happen smoothly and quickly

Congratulations and welcome back to the grind. I'm a big believer that when things are meant to happen, they happen smoothly and quickly Thanks Ali! So far the only grind has been reading their 260 page "sales manual"...and a 302 page book called "Hug Your Customers" by Jack Mitchell...all in the first four days! (That was MY pace...but I had to fight off "nap time" in the afternoon! LOL)

(That was MY pace...but I had to fight off "nap time" in the afternoon! LOL) Omg I bet the struggle is real Don't think it doesn't escape me as to how "trivial" that complaint sounds! LOL - I spent the last couple years on a HORRIBLE sleep schedule. I'd sleep 4-5 hours a night most nights...then take an hour or two nap in the early afternoon. Did that for a couple years. Skipping a nap has been the biggest "shock" to my system! LOL

I don’t want to be an adult and you can’t make me! Maybe I need a nap….
