Hello, everyone.

H tried to pull an early April Fool's joke on me, but I wasn't buying it . He told me the Valero refinery called to tell him "thanks, but no thanks" for his application, but come on now.....they do not call you to let you down .

So yes.....H has been hired by Valero !

This is just sooooo WONDERFUL!!!

No more 12-14 hour shifts! No more working without any time off! TERRIFIC!!!

He starts in May. April will be kind of like a preliminary month for him where they will conduct a background check, give him a physical, etc. He'll be making $8 more an hour than what he's making now with his current job, and he'll be working 8-hr shifts, 40 hrs a week, so he'll have 2 days off each week. That is so great because his boys really miss seeing him! When I said something about him being able to spend time with the kids again, he said, "And with you, too."....we'll see.

I am just so very happy for him! All of his hard work, studying, and determination has finally paid off for him in a BIG way ! I am so proud of him, and he is thrilled!

Thanks for listening.


Valerie
