Prayers answered! Wonderful news Moe. Good luck and I hope it goes permanent. Just a heads up that it looks like I'll be returning to your area at the end of year at Fiesta Bowl time. Hopefully we'll be able to get together this time and clink glasses to toast a permanent job.

The North Slope oil production area in Alaska is adding jobs. There's a CAD Draftsman position in Nome. Sometimes the pay for certain careers on the north slope is worth commuting and the schedule is typically a 2 on/2 off or similar in nature to that schedule. https://alexsys.labor.state.ak.us/jo...0007&t=k&faqq= British Petroleum is also hiring: https://careers.bpglobal.com/2057/ASP/TG/cim_jobdetail.asp?SID=^Gv8mBvZA/ylkCJBOfKIgDNb6bRGiOCYsMy86CUJzL0pNaZFdIqCz/21ER6HIaj1n&jobId=45720&type=search&JobReqLang=140 &recordstart=1&JobSiteId=5012&JobSiteInfo=45720_50 12&GQId=1279

Congratulations! I hope it works out to be something long-term. I'm glad you didn't have to sell the truck!

Congrats! Sometimes, all it takes is to get back in the saddle for a while and then other people see you and think "Hey! THAT'S the guy I need!"
