The Official "Got a New Job" Thread

Be nice, I live in Beaumont and it is not that bad. Vidor took the sign down and still you could not pay me to live there. My GF teaches high school there and I have to curb my desire to shoot the racists little shits. I have been here for almost three years and don't have anything bad to say about the are in general. People are friendly and the job market is pretty damn good.

Todd,
Lumberton is nice but pricey for what you get. I live off of Major Drive and Hwy 105 on the NE side of Beaumont and it is quiet and pretty easy to get around town from there. I am usually at the races with John George and have met you a couple of times. Good luck with the house hunting!

Darren

Awesome!!! I think I remember you Darren but the next time we meet up, pls remind me that you're from Beaumont!!!

Don't take any of the B-town jabs personnally...it's all in good fun. When I lived in LA, they laughed at me for moving to SF the land of the fruits & nuts. When we left SF, we were made to feel like we were moving to hell going to Houston...and we love it. The same holds true now for Beaumont...those who aren't there feel like it's going to be a bit poh-dunk (including my wife), but I'm encouraged and think we'll love it once we get there!!!

Sounds like there's at least 1 gearhead there I can hang with!!!

Darren...we'll get a Beaumont AI/CMC Chapter going in no time and whoop all those Dallas pansies when we come out. :twisted:

A new chapter....do they have a hooptie class or one for jacked up 4X4's? No seriously, I have seen a few cars here that might do some auto crossing but I am not sure. One was a Fox car that definitely could as it was a complete MM car with cage but who knows.

The Golden Triangle has a little something for everyone so I am sure you and your family will find a good spot to call home. The Saturday night cruise they put in here in Beaumont is pretty darn good. It is once a month and man are there some sharp street rides here. I think they keep them locked up the rest of the time. The food here is amazing and believe it or not there are some really good places to take the family out to eat.

I might be up at TWS this weekend as John has a few parts for me and I could use the break from all the work. If you are up that way I will try and find you in the crowd.

Just look for the really bright sun reflection! ;-)~

I'll likely be in a bright orange shirt and there won't be any reflections because this chrome dome gets burnt real fast in the Texas sun!!! Hope to talk to someone from Beaumont before I actually move there.

See you this weekend for Team Ford cheatin bastard practice at TWS!
(Dresscode is casual....no bowties puhleaze.) :roll:

Congrats to all of you starting fresh! I hope you are happy in your new positions.

I sort of got a new job last month. The owner of TWS added new responsibilities to my old ones along with a significant raise and a staff position. (I used to be contract) :D I swear I've got the best job in the world!

Sounds like you're "core staff" at TWS now, Misty! Congrats!
Will we be seeing you there this weekend in your "I'm with track management" paddock flotilla? :lol:

-=- Todd

Thank you, Todd!

I'll be at the track for the worker meeting Saturday morning and might stop by with Cristopher, at some point, so he can see that Mustang owners really aren't bad people. I had thought about leaving the Camaro in the paddock for the weekend, but I was afraid it might get Mustang on it and that just doesn't buff out. :twisted:

let me know if any new positions open up... I'm looking for a change...

Well Gentleman I am officially out of the car repair business. I just took a job with a company that manufacturer's equipment for the oil and gas industry. Bad news......can't get smokin deals on parts anymore....tires are more expensive.............That about covers it.

Good news. Less hours, more money, less commute (drastically), I am the boss 8) , Oh yeah and I just happen to have access to 2 CNC mills, a plasma cutter table, and about a million other cool metal working tools, oh and did i mention a ton of scrap metal and aluminum to play with at my discretion.

So.....with that being said...look to see the "willful destruction" thread light up like the fourth of July in about 2 weeks to a month. :D
