Well I just got off the phone with my HR department and I now have a job in Martinsburg, WV. (Good News)
Not coming home (bad news)
Well at least I have a job!!!! And they are paying me again to move.
I will be about 95 miles west (little north also) of baltimore.
So I really want to thank RichD and dukie duke for the offer!!!
Like I've always said and always will the DFW group is the very best!!!!!
Congrats on the job [thumbsup]
WHAT!!!
Just when I stocked up on ear plugs... ;D [evil]
Seriously--good to hear you have a job. [thumbsup]
Glad to hear you're set up Alan. I guess that means I'll have to put away my extra strength ear plugs.
CONGRATS!
...but...
Duke is emotionally crushed.
He really wanted to poop in your shoe.
;D
Glad to hear you're still employed!
If it doesn't work out at least you know you've got the option to stay. [thumbsup]

Does this mean the DFW group gets to invade the West Virginia Ducati Monster Forum too?
Good news on the job Alan. At least you're not that far from Nora.

Hmmm, West Virginia... I've heard of that.
You could slice the disappointment around here with a knife, but it's good to have a job, & I hope it works out for you & Mindy [thumbsup]

Thanks gang!! I am just glad I have a job!! But I will miss all of you. But maybe in a year or so I could transfer to the SPO plant in roanoke (spelling??) Where I got jims vette parts. we'll see.
But for sure if anyone is in the area, there is always a place for you!!
Plus I know there will other duc riders there!!! Only 20-30 minutes south!
Congrats on the job.. and WV isn't so bad. SO MANY good roads out there compared to here. You'll enjoy it. And don't let the speed limit and LEO patrols on the blueridge parkway discourage you. LOTS of other great roads. My dad lives in VA and has been trying to get me out to visit him with the bike so we can ride together for a while. Planning a trip once my soon to be son is old enough for a road trip. Keep in touch and we'll meet up when i'm out there

epic relocation fail.
True that, McKraut, true that.
...but, life is a long road ...and all roads lead to DFW!
