New job!
 
Well, after years of working and going back to school full time, it finally paid off! Got awesome job offer yesterday and took it! Start in two weeks. The funny thing Is, the first thing I thought of was boat upgrades. :lolhit:

I'm so pumped! :party-smiley-048::coolcowboy::ernaehrung004::bong:

Crude Intentions 02-25-2014 12:41 PM

Congrats Joe!! What ya thinkin for upgrade? What kinda job?

12meter joe 02-25-2014 12:48 PM

Thanks man! appreciate it! The job is Design Engineer at Waltonen engineering.

As far as the boat goes I probably won't be doing much more this year as I'm already having both engines rebuilt as we speak. Unfortunately at the time I couldn't afford to do much in the way of upping the power so kind of a bummer now that I'll be making considerably more money. I'm just gonna enjoy the boat this summer, bank as much money as I can and see which direction to go for next year.

congrats on the good news!

please share pics of the engine builds.

That's most likely the direction I'm heading. Find a boat the way I want it, probably be cheaper in the long run anyway.

phragle 02-25-2014 01:56 PM

Uhmmm... Did you just say "enjoy the boat" and "Bank money this summer" in the same sentence??? Are you TRYING to anger the boat gods??

I wanted to throw some sarcasm in there so my post wasn't boring and dry.

Congrats Joe!! Good luck on the new job! this should be a great summer for you, enjoy!

MILD THUNDER 02-25-2014 07:58 PM

Congrats man! I say keep the old 12 meter. Bank up a bunch of cash. Then get some #6's for it, with a pair of 1000's. Keep it old school. You have a great looking boat. Dont forget to save some money to keep the skanks full of booze and silicone.

mcprodesign 02-25-2014 08:29 PM

Does this mean you are going to "upgrade" your avatar? It looks a little dry :lolhit:

Greatguy66 02-25-2014 08:34 PM

Yea, I don't think I can part with her just yet without giving her what she deserves (the 12 meter) the other her doesn't deserve Chit lol. It's gonna take some time to get where I need to be anyway and it's deff not outerlimit kind of money. Besides, fountains are faster. :D

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support! It's been a long time coming and couldn't be happier. Come on summer!

ICDEDPPL 02-25-2014 10:31 PM

In a few years you can finally step up to the real deal

GM has used them quite a lot in the past for design. Do they do any build or integration? If you ever need any contract Robot/Controls programmers let me know.

BTW...congrats on the job...that was a rough market (automotive) just 2 yrs ago!

mptrimshop 02-26-2014 08:11 AM

Who started the avatar thing..... ?

314joey 02-26-2014 08:18 AM

Figured I would change mine for a while too.


Congrats on the new gig, Joe.

I think Icdedppl, then again JRider has had a hot avatar for a while too. But we should rethink it. We were just called ''trashy'' last night by another oso member, and that we could never get real women like that on our boats!

Trashy? Oh man, I'm gonna clean mine up then.

Yeah Joe none of us can get attractive women was the claim basically.

J-Bonz 02-26-2014 11:43 AM

Congrats on graduating and the new job! I take it mechanical was the program?

88Fount33 02-26-2014 11:51 AM

Congrats from one eng to another.

With the easing of work visas for foreign engineers wanting to work here, I hope your job remains secure. I have benefited from the fact that my local knowledge of conditions here as well as specific product knowledge has kept me secure. I only need about 6 more years til retirement, so I am reasonably safe. I have grave concerns for the future where a flood of outsiders will dilute the earning power engineering once enjoyed.

and no, I don't own or could afford even a very USED Outerlimits.

This is not my Father's (Civil Engineer) world, and the big firms already utilize their offshore engineers that work for $25,000 per year or less.

Smarty 02-26-2014 12:54 PM

Joe,

Glad to hear about the new job, now you will have more money for the boat, for the skanks, for the all the in betweens that the skanks require (booze, condoms, birth control, Valtrex, ect).

I like Mild Thunder's advice where he wrote , "Dont forget to save some money to keep the skanks full of booze and silicone." Keep the pictures of the skanks on your 12 meter coming, I alwasy appreciated the pictures, and your witty outlook.

Maybe with this extra money you could upgrade from skanks to Escorts from Backpage, the quickest way to really piss money away, from what I heard, not from first hand experience*

* my caveat (disclaimer)

Hmmm... that's very interesting. I now will be sure to put full effort into this summers skank hunt. In fact, I am going to purchase more memory cards and back up cameras just to be sure I don't miss anything whatsoever!

I wonder how many skanks mister claim speculator pulls on an average day on the boat? I won't go and "claim" he's gets none but, use my energy in destroying that "claim" this summer.

Thanks. Hey, I did happen to notice you missed an item on that list of skank requirements. A case of Plan B. and local cab number on speed dial.

okay. your avatar wins ! Another thought here.. We are just viewing Gods beautiful creations. If God did not want us intertested in that ,they would all look like Roseann bar ( sp?) or something. And these girls apreciate us looking them, giving them attention, rides etc. But the ones withh the great a@@s usually go for the Fountains/ just sayin :whistle:

mptrimshop 02-26-2014 07:56 PM

Mine is that chick from teen mom that went porn star!!
