I'll be doing some sort of phone interview in about 4 hours. Being home the past two weeks has been absolutely great...watching UT games and their opponents, spending time with the 4 month old VFL, catching up on my correspondence course, and generally goofing off with the XBOX and the PC. Enough's enough though. Time to get back to work.
It's with Trane, another HVAC company, as a service technician.
I have my application in with the FAA, which would ultimately be my dream job outside of coaching. My old master chief from the Navy has a little pull, unfortunately not so much in the MO area. Still, his recommendation will go a long way should a spot open up here in St. Louis. Working on radars again would make me pretty happy. I did some HVAC work for Lambert a month or so ago and they're the ones that pushed for me to put my application in there.
Anyhow, thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.
GO VOLS!

Right after I typed this out, the ol' master chief called me up with a tech question. Turns out they're having a problem with the radar I used to work on. Can't get normal tech support due to the hurricane! It's been 10 years, but I was able to help out a little!

Nerve wracking two weeks which included me stopping in to talk to HR for 20 minutes and a 'conference' call where only one other person other showed up.
BUT I GOT THE FLIPPING JOB!

I see a new rule coming into play - the "Polirule(s)" - when you go back to work, the dominos will start falling...
