Joe Handley Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I drink my caffeine every day, and that didn't stop me from passing a drug test when I worked at a nuclear power plant. I worked there four different times and never failed a drug test. As for driving, they let me drive a Mack cab over truck without a CDL license also.I figured that I should be ok with the caffeine, but I have been drinking tons of water, even what is in my system would be pretty well flushed.
Crazy Ed Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 lost for words in the photo, but i can say you deserve the picture of the year Award ?? Thank You Very much Don
High octane Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Very interesting. Did you ever work at Callaway? I worked there while the place was under construction. I spent most of my time in the turbine building, doing conformance inspections. No I didn't.
Roadrunner Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 No I didn't.OK, didn't figure it would hurt to ask. What an interesting place that was.
High octane Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 OK, didn't figure it would hurt to ask. What an interesting place that was. Yes the "nuke plant " was an interesting place to work.
Joe Handley Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 WOOHOO!!!!!! Drug test is taken, now I just have to wait for the confirmation.
cobraman Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Got this from my daughter today for my Bday a couple days ago.
1930fordpickup Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I figured that I should be ok with the caffeine, but I have been drinking tons of water, even what is in my system would be pretty well flushed.The caffeine should not play a roll in a drug test , good luck on the new job.
Joe Handley Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 The caffeine should not play a roll in a drug test , good luck on the new job. Thanks! If all goes well, I'll be working there by this time next week!
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I figured that I should be ok with the caffeine.. If caffeine was an issue in a "drug" test, they never would have let me work on aircraft or fly. I've been drinking close to 2 pots of coffee a day for almost 50 years. Thanks! If all goes well, I'll be working there by this time next week! Hope you get it. Work is good. Edited June 30, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy
High octane Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks! If all goes well, I'll be working there by this time next week!No more Hobbytown USA?
Harry P. Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Got this from my daughter today for my Bday a couple days ago. Yum! Those guys sell some good stuff!
cobraman Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 They will be good if I don't over cook them. I do have a tendency to over cook on the grill. Not sure why that is.

Lol, after that trip to Iowa this past weekend, I'd have been in trouble, between the Coca~Cola, Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew while on the road Another hobby shop job? No more Hobbytown USA? No HTU or hopefully brick and mortar retail, it's a sales job that will require both outdoor, house to house work as well as phone work, pay would be better than I could get in retail too. Funny thing is, much of their territory is in the same areas that the customers that the HTU I worked for live in, which should be including Harry's neigborhood too! One of the things that got me the job is that I'd been with that store for 15 years, under two owners, during a recession, plus have no problems working 2nd shift and on Saturday mornings. It'll be nice to be at a job where I've got holidays off, only one I've been guarantee that was when I was still a student employee at the West Chicago High School 20+ years ago!

You aren't going to come ring my doorbell and try to talk me into joining the Jehovah's Witnesses, are you?
Joe Handley Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Lololol, no I won't Harry, but I am kinda interested to see how much of their customer list lines up with what I remember of the HobbyTown system. The pay shpuld be good enough that I'll.be able to pay off my 200 quicker and get rid of my C.C. debt fairly quick, once those are done and since this job would require driving, I'd probably want to consider a different car for a work beater so I'm not racking up miles on the 200 like mad (it's now over 50k). Been thinking a new Dart or a second hand Volt might be good to look at, especially if I can get extended warranties for either one and they seem to be around the same price.
Joe Handley Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 BTW Joe... how is mom doing?Other than somewhat worried about the door to door nature of this new job and still has some problems that keep her from being able to do much more that walk around the house in a big circle, pretty good! This trip to Iowa we took was so she could attend her 54th high school reunion (which was school wide, so there were some graduates from the mid-30's there too!), which at the time was looking to possibly be the last one, since after her class graduated (all 19 of them!), they moved all the town's HS students into a bigger county school that her little sister and at least half of my cousins from her side graduated from. Since the young'uns are all in their 70's now, there was the possibility that this was going to be the last reunion, but they decided to try for one more in 2018. We also had a bunch of family at the hotel we stayed at on Sunday, which turned into an early 40th birthday party for me.......and here I thought it was for her 72nd a couple weeks back! She didn't exactly enjoy the car rides (their '06 T&C is a bit tight in the front passenger seat, especially compared to the new Pacifica) but did enjoy the reunion and the family get together the next day.
Joe Handley Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks Harry, something I forgot to mention is that she spent about half of last yearbin a couple different hospitals as well as a couple different nursing homes, with January 1st being when she got out of CDH most recently, so she hasn't had to go back as of yet!
1930fordpickup Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 They will be good if I don't over cook them. I do have a tendency to over cook on the grill. Not sure why that is. Ray get a timer for you steaks, and when you learn your grills sweet spot just repeat each side. I am thinking of buying a new grill like a Weber.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Walking out the door for a long walk before it gets too friggin' hot. Need to loose the lard I've packed on over the past two years.
