: Can't believe it's 300k jeep.Good luck to your interview. Herb

Thanks Herb,

It's been a long, expensive process to achieve the "Can't believe it's 300k
jeep" status.
This is what it looked like when I started. http://tinyurl.com/2nz4m
This photo is very flattering - as ugly as it is.

This is some of the progress along the way. http://tinyurl.com/yu3hz
I haven't updated the site in a long time because I found I was spending too
much time on the site and not enough on the Jeep.

I had the interview almost a month ago for the job I applied for almost a
year and a half ago. Some extenuating circumstances have prolonged the
process (promoted from within for a Hamilton job, hiring freeze for a London
job, restructured the London operation to Sarnia, see how the Sarnia
operation works out, seasonal slowdown in Sarnia and that brings us to now).

I know I aced the interview despite not having any voice the day before and
very strained speech the day of and I have one thing on my side. An
impromptu get together about a year ago after which one of the decision
makers said to my 'inside guy' "unless someone comes in here that can walk
on water, the job is his".

I can afford to be patient, although I don't enjoy the BS where I'm working
now it's still a good gig and pays well. The new job however pays almost 40%
more while working one less day a week with full pension and benefits. It's
a giant carrot on the end of a shortening stick.
