92xj Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 today. The letter was a offer to the job position!!!!!!!!! Within the letter came the salary and benefits as well as signing bonus. I believe this is the break I have been waiting on in this whole "life" thing. With the salary and bonus they have offered me there is NO way I can pass it up. I will be signing the letter tomorrow and faxing it back to them. They will give me three weeks from friday to start work, so it looks like I will be planning a trip to drive across the country and start a new "life" and career. Thank you for the prayers I have recieved and please continue to do so as I make this new chapter in my book of life. I am very nervous right now, but know this will be the best thing for me. Also please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I make this journey across the country. I am sure there will be favors I ask of some as I make the trip and I hope, if anyway possible, I can stop along the way and meet some folks from RT. Thanks again for everything and I pray for myself I am making the right decisions. I will miss the South but will be back ASAP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for all the wishes, goodlucks, thoughts and prayers. I believe what the guy was telling me was that I will have three weeks from Tomorrow to be out there and start work. Mapquest is saying that it is 2760 miles from here. I believe I am going to try and make the drive in 5 days but log about 4000 miles. I am thinking that I would like to drive like this /\/\/\/ until I reach Washington. I will hopefully be getting a new camera so I will be able to take pics of the journey and have a nice photo story on here were I can post and keep track of everything and where I am in the Country. Once he receives my signed offer letter he said the process will begin of all the background checks and adding me to the system. I do not see anyway at all that this could go bad, but some prayers for the finalization of the procedure would be really nice the next couple of days. Also once I figure out the route I will be taking I will post and see if anybody is on the way, where I could stop and chat for a second, or steal a floor for the night. Thanks again for the suppport, I am very nervous right about now, but I can not wait to start the new chapter, I is going to be an awesome experience. -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
