Well, we all went to supper and talked business.
Paul wants me to start just after the first of the year.
I gave him the formal application from their website. HA! He was surprised that I downloaded it and had it done.
So he is talking like it’s a done deal and waiting on the formality of paperwork.
They are already interested in my satellite and cartography skills.

He said he’ll start me off at 230 per day (230 a day? I am in shock-that’s as much as I was making in Hawaii. And he will be my boss as well), I get 35 per day per diem on an ATM card, phone, laptop, office adjoining my hotel room, access to company car and I get paid pretty handsomely if I elect to use my car to drive to each jobsite. I will.

The hours are a…5 am-9 and then 5 pm-9 and it is 7 days a week for 6-8 weeks. It also means I have a block during the day to do what I want as long as I can be reached for emergencies as I would be the purchasing agent if they need stuff. My 2 week block of time off is determine by me. I get to take the time when I need it. Or not. Just have to let them know.

It is strictly an Admin position. I am the crews link to the home office for purchasing, payroll, new hires, hotel reservations, moving from site to site, etc. I will be based out of the Denver office and will be back here on occasion anyway. YAY!

If this happens, first stop is Gillette WY for a few weeks to train. A few days in Denver after that, and then I have no idea where they will send me. I will be rotating a bit faster through jobsites tho because I *am* so mobile right now and they want a rotating person for all the sites. I might be in Cheyenne too and that’s where my 2 youngest work. I found out last night it’s even the same hotel. How funny is that?

They do work in PA, NY, LA, TX, NM, ND, SD, MT, UT and Australia is possible too.
I couldn’t make this kind of money in my profession right now. And yes I am getting that passport, pronto.

There is something else at work here. I am seeding the possibility of them eventually seeing they need my expertise in GPS technology as well as wanting someone to make their maps. Yah.

I am also seeding Hawaii in the beginning of March for a week with a dear friend.

I may really be able to catch up on bills and make some needed credit repairs for the future.
