Big Cliff Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) I tried retirement again for about the XXXX time and I just can't do it. Retirement is for old (or rich people). Well, the old part I might be getting close to LOL. Anyway I happened to stumble across a job posting for a Purchasing Agent for a company located just 7 minutes down the road from my house. Well, I decided to submit my resume not really expecting to hear from them but what the heck. They needed someone with a background in electronics, purchasing, and inventory control and I had all of those. Well, three interviews later and they offered me the job and guess who the new purchasing agent is for Carma Industries Inc. is? Now, I have already got some quotes on some parts I need from OFC members (and I'll be working on those in the next few days) but I am going to be looking for some contacts in the electronic component supply business, circuit board manufacturing, and a variety of other related businesses. Yes, we do have suppliers for everything we need but I will be giving first choice to OFC members. Quality, dependibility, and price in that order. If you feel that we might be able to do business then please email me ([email protected]) I will do my best to help you as long as you are doing your best to help us! If I don't get back to you in a day or two, please don't panic, I have a huge task in front of me! BTW, anyone on here really good with FoxPro? Cliff Oh, and I promise, this is the last time I'll retire! Edited April 11, 2012 by Big Cliff

skeeter Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Congratulations Cliff!! Does this mean we are losing our small engines mechanic?
mercman Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 I knew in the back of my mind, that you would get fed up with retirement Good for you my friend, nothing keeps you young like job well done.
NAW Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Don't ever stop Cliff. I don't know you personally, but you sound like the type of guy who can't stop, thus you shouldn't. You know why.. Once you force yourself to stop, other things start stopping too. Things that shouldn't stop. Things you need to live. Seen it happen to a lot of people.
Beans Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Just make sure you get them to take a few extra dollars out of your pay to cover the increase in income taxes you will have to pay...Them infernal revenoors will want their share...
whiskywizard Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 I haven't known you for long Cliff, but I'm a pretty good judge of character; Carma is lucky to have you. Remember the old adage... if you need something done, give it to a busy person. Here's to many more years of you being busy.
Gerritt Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Good luck in your new venture Cliff! are you sure that email address is correct? G

ketchenany Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Cliff, nobody here has caught on yet, but every time you mention retirement, you mean changing a tire. They are lucky to have you.
