Haven't mentioned it previously on site, but I have been unemplyed for the past 6+ months.  Having been unceremoniously dumped by the security outfit I'd been with the past 6 years, I decided to try and 1) get back to what I had done for the 20 years previously, and 2) to get the hell out of metro Atlanta, which has become a real pit of pollution, high prices and nasty people over the past 10 years or so.

It's taken from last October to now, but I finally am going back to work---doing counseling at a Georgia state prison facility in the beautiful mountainous countryside of Northwest Georgia[:D]

Don't know if I'm more excited about the job or the location.  It'll be great to start working with people again, but equally terrific to be able to take my 6 year old out into the mountains, and show him the joys of clean air and green woods. [:D].

Since the work location is right near both the Alabama and Tennessee stae lines, we might even live out of the state.

One added plus, the prison HAS A FIRING RANGE, outdoors and at least 100 yards.  Hoping I can get to use it during off hours.

Man, this is one happy day [:D][:D][:D]

Outstanding!
Enjoy!

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So.......when are you hosting a shoot???
hmmmmmmm? [;)]

Congrats on the new job!

Wellll; it's going to take us a couple of months to get moved out there, and probably a couple of months more to figure out how and where to have it----so how about Octoberish? [:D]

Congratulations!! We will miss you at our shoots, though.[:(] Yes I remember seeing you at a shoot, heck I can probably dig up a picture or two.[:)] Let us know if you need any help.

I thought it was going to be hell moving away from the beautiful mountains of Tennessee to the flatlands of IL, but getting a job at Armalite (especially with employee discounts) seems to have made things better!!!!

Congrats. Nothing feels better than liking what you do for a living.

Just in time for fall break.  Wonnderful! [;D]
