Hey all, just a note to say I got a call last night at 10pm for an interview tonight with Wal-Mart and was hired on the spot tonight! Almost making as much as I was at my old job but that's ok... It's better than no job at all!

Thank you all that have helped out in our time of need and for the prayers... very much appreciated!

Thanks again everyone and have a SUPER MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Thanks for sharing your good news, Dave. That is a great Christmas present for your family.

Congrads on the job for sure. In this economy that is a great feeling. May you and your family have a Merry Christmas and hope the New Year brings you great things.
 
Congrats Dave, And I know it is extra sweet being right at the Holidays. Nice to here some good news on the job front for a change.
 
Great for you, Dave. Do you think this gets you out of the work some of us have asked you to do? Not a chance.

Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!
 
Thank you EVERYONE for the responses... very much appreciated!!!

Dang... I was afraid of that!!!!:bulgy-eyes: Seriously, I'm still gonna do what I said I'd do but it might take me a little longer to get there....


Again everybody.... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! THIS is what I like about this forum and the people here! MOST of you I have never met in person, just by messaging here on the forum but you all are like family to me!

Heck, just today I had an issue with a pen order than got sprung on me last night at the last minute (needs to be done SUNDAY!) and I was out of pen cases and the blank they wanted and I was having some issues with blowing out the blanks while drilling them...

Well, to make a long story shot, I went to Woods-n-Whimsies today and picked up some cases and blanks. I told Tim of my demise while drilling them and he offered to drill them for me... not only did he drill them, he also cut them to size and rounded the corners off for me! :eek: without charging me an extra penny!!!! He even showed me some secrets to getting them drilled without getting blowout guaranteed! Now do you think you would get that kind of service at any other place? I don't think so!!!

Thank You TIM! This helps me out a bunch! I will be a LIFE LONG customer my friend!

Ok.. enough rambling, I got a pen to make... :biggrin:

Cool! Well, I'm not sure of the store number but it's the one in Webb City Missouri...

What makes it even more ironic is my two sons work there also on overnight maintenance.. LOL .... so it's gonna have the Sallee Trio in about 2 weeks! LOL. Manager said If I'm anything like my boys, they would be THRILLED to have another Sallee... LOL (my boys are good hard workers and earn their keep and I'm proud of them for that!)

My boys and I were "named" The Sallee Trio when we all went to WTI (Wichita Technical Institute) together and we all graduated the TOP 3 in the class with honors and awards. We all ended with a 4.0 GPA for (14 months) in computer electronics, consumer electronics, aviation electronics and audio/video electronics. I was named their first ever Valedictorian for this Joplin Campus.

Anyway... Nice to meet ya my friend... let me get in for a bit and I'm sure there will be some stories to share... LOL

Well I been doing it for 11 years so I have a head start on the stories. Store 2579 is mine.
 
Thanks Freddie, Roy and Joel!

Freddie... I'm still thinking on what you wanted... Got the initials selection somewhat done, if you like one of those then we can go from there on the other things you wanted... I personally favor PP-10 I think that would be a unique design for your pens... If you like any of them, I can work the styles you like into some logo samples .... and we can go from there..
