i no longer have a dad
close to home......
scared ya?? sorry...
my mechanic dad got a new job, paying double....120 miles away....
he has gone from a ford dealership, to self employed, to the shop he was at for 12 years, being head mechanic and service manager...that place was slowly going out of business while he was there, so he got out ASAP... found a new job in heron lake, mn, and worked there for like 4 weeks, the place we did the motor swap on the 00....things did not work out with that boss...so he found another offer......in brookings, SD....its called brookings automall, a HUGE GM dealership
kinda sad, but im VERY happy for him...
if this job works out, my family will be moving as soon as my bro graduates this year...
in the mean time, he will be traveling on the weekends and staying in a one bedroom basement on the weekdays, just like college...
this means my mom is taking over the house, and i no longer have a SHOP!!!!
sucks bad...
ill give him a while there, and if they actaully do move, i will be looking for a job prolly in sioux falls, SD....
wish my family luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well he already needs super luck and internal fortitude to cope with you!!!
Seriously though, I hope things work out for you and your family!! Congrats on the new super paying job.

Good luck to all of you! Will he be transferring immediately? or after the Christmas holidays.?
