And Exhale...

Ok.
So after breaking down our mileage, insurance, union dues and our gut feeling... We came to a very long awaited decision. Thank God its over.

We decided to go with the closer job. Coating Excellence. Yes, at first we won't start out with a nice comfortable wage, right away, and it may even few years. We talked to someone that works there and he told us about the insurance, holiday parties, raises, and general info. This company really seems to be growing and they have the shift that Duner really likes. 12 hr rotation. He will be working 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 3 off. He will have every other weekend off. More time with the kids.

If he has to work on a holiday they will cater in food.

For a Holiday party they give away trips! Last year was a 2 wk trip to Alaska. (Duner dream vacation) And a week long trip to Vegas. Not to mention quarterly bonuses they have been getting.

When it came down to it gas prices had a huge impact on this decision. Luvata (the other job option) had 2 locations, one in Appleton and the other in Kimberly. We didn't know for sure which location it was going to be. But we did our figuring for the Appleton Location and it came out to over $900 in a years time, compared to over $400 at the closer plant.

On Sunday, When we went out for Breakfast for Mothers Day, we did agree he would probably be more happy at Coding Excellence. The other one melted copper for shipping over seas for use in other products. That made me nervous. It wasn't like he had done that before.

Coding Excellence is more like what he has done in the past. Working with paper.

When Duner went into work today (at hoffmaster) they had sign ups for June. Last month they took them down. Now they are asking for volunteers? Geez. I am so glad to get out of there!

Lets hope they have him off from Hoffmaster next week because he begins the new job on MONDAY! That was when they had an orientation starting.
