New Job

As some of you may know, I currently work as a contractor at the ExxonMobil Refinery Lab in Baytown, TX. My current employer is Kelly Scientific, and I work as a lab tech along side of the Exxon lab techs.

In August I was invited to interview for a lab tech position with Exxon. I did well enough on the first interview to be invited back for a second round of interviews. Well, in late September I was offered the job! I accepted of course. The hire was conditional upon completion of a background check, pre-employment physical, and drug test.

Last week I received a letter in the mail confirming that I had met all the pre-employment requirements and that my start date will be November 5th! Yeah!!

So as of next Monday, I will no longer be a contractor with no benefits and low pay (not that low actually). I will be an employee of ExxonMobil! The company with two consecutive years of record-setting profits of $36 Billion and $39.5 Billion. That's pretty good.

Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know my good news. Have a good Sunday and everyone root for the Texans!

Congrats to Ericka! Jennifer and I want to take a trip up there to visit them (and do some wine and beer tastings!).

I will absolutely, positively sign up for all the free $$ that is available to me! We have a nice ExxonMobil savings plan that is like a 401k. Exxon matches up to 7% on that one. The Pension plan is automatically enrolled for me. After 15 years I will be eligible to retire and get my pension checks! (I'll probably have to work for 30 years though, not 15!)

What a great day to have a job, eh!! I'm having a good first week, and I hope you are too! That's really great for all of you.

And you are welcome in Oregon ANYTIME! We've got a spare room with a comfy bed and plenty of toys! (Unless you're looking to go kid-free, then we have a little girl that will be happy to help you miss them!)

Love, your Oregon Cuz
