Dragonslayer Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share #29 Posted February 16, 2010 I can't thank all of you enough for your prayers and well wishes. Once again life proves that prayers can make a difference. I went for the interview this afternoon with your prayers, well wishes, thoughts and advice at heart. Although I did not polish my forehead in fear of blinding someone with by shiney bald scalp. But, I did make sure it was scrubed, my finger nails clean and my ear, nose and mustach hair neatly trimed, tie tied right and groomed for success. All of the foregoing must have worked because I was officially offered the job at $20,000 more a year then I was prepared to accept, with full benefits, 401 k and employement enducements suitable for grown people with a serious job. All of which subject to satisfactory results from the drug screening test and background check. Which I'm not concerned about. Unless caffine from my morning's coffee counts against me. Tentatively, I will be starting next week and am looking forward to getting back to work in the real world and away from daytime TV. In fear of being too mushy and melodramtic I will refrain from describing my emotions at this time. All I can say is thank you for your prayers and support. Proving once again that this is an awesome group of family and friends and My God is an awesome God. Your Friend Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless you BOB and many happy years in your new job. God's speed my friend. God's speed! SteveThanks Steve, That means a lot. It's hard to describe how I feel right now but the feeling of relief you described is certainly a part of it. I just woke up from a dream and could not go back to sleep. Of course I was dreaming about the job, not the money so much or how much landing the job would mean for my economic health. I was dreaming about how the people I would come in contact with in this job would impact me and how I had the opportunity to impact them. I don't think the warm fuzzy feeling I woke up with was due to the bed covers or comforter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonslayer Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share #44 Posted February 16, 2010 Bob, hopefully they'll see that the desire you have for the job will match how good you'll be for them as an employee. Make sure you polish the forehead and scrape the fingernails! Go in relaxed, and they'll see you're the best man. Good luck. Thanks Swifty I went in looking good, smelling good and feeling good and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zfrebird4 Posted February 16, 2010 Share #47 Posted February 16, 2010 As a man who could lay his heart and soul out to this group of wonderful people, I KNOW you are a soul man, one who touches the lives of others. And when you speak, your voice has a song in it, meaning your pitches change reflecting the meaning of what you are saying deep down within yourself. I am a retired nursing home adm, adm of retirement full care communities and CEO of the same in several corporations. I hold a masters in health care adm, and none of this is to brag; retired, don't need to do that. I've hired for your positition many times, and the ones who had 'heart' and cared for the folks around them won, and served the agency (s) very well. For folks retired, in critical and in between care, in specialized units ... NOTHING crumbles the professional programs staff surround them with like an enviromental service set up and program that crumbles. You are the foundation in your new job to allow all professional and staff services and programs to succeed. Your words tell me you know this, and your knowledge of this makes me wish you could be working with me at a corporate level. That's over now for me, but it was a joy beyond words. The Lord was good to me, and he is now good to you, as you will be towards all others. Congratulations. Yup, prayers helped. But your quality heart and soul tied the knot of your being hired. Now sleep well, ... when you can in the midst of your joy! JackZ :clap2::clap2::ice_awesome-vi46644:sign outstanding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now sleep well, ... when you can in the midst of your joy! JackZ :clap2::clap2: Jack, I don't think we have met before But I am looking forward to the opportunity when we will. With your experience your insight and advice means a lot. I have been a professional facility/property/maintenance manager since the seventies and have been involved with all types of facilities and building usages from Multi-family, office, retail, college campuses, churches, schools, hospitals and airports. Early in my career I took pride in positive impact I made on the facility as result of my efforts. But, in time and I guess with some maturity, I realized that it was more about the impact on the people who lived, worked and passed through those structures. The impact on those people as a result of the environment that I helped create and maintain. I'm looking forward to this job and consider it an honor and priveledge to be entrusted with the "Environment of Care" of this facility so that I may be able to touch the lives of the people that live, work and pass through it. The answer to your earlier question is 54. Thank you for you kind words and support. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
