The auction tonight... And a thanks to everybody

Well this will be the first auction I will have gone to in almost 9 months. This should be a good one im not going there to buy just to rewet my feet and to see what everything is going for. I know there is alot of anacs graded stuff mostly morgans and halfs. Im looking forward to it.

But anyhow this is my thanks to everybody that told me to keep trying and to keep my hopes up . This past febuary I lost my job through work force reduction.. Call it what you want I got fired!!! Anyhow For those of you that didnt know I got hired on to KittyHawk airfreight. Their hub is located in my town. I got this job with the intent of getting into safety and Dg work(dangerous goods) the faa and ntsb stuff. Al that said I had to start at the bottom like everybody else. My job is to load and unload the jets when they come in and before they leave. Well tonight well this morning I was asked if I want to switch jobs and go to work as a loadmaster. Big jump in pay and big jump in status of job. This is such a relief to have a job. Now I will be able to get back into collecting and maybe in the next year I will complete my small cent set amoung other things.

Thanks to everybody that kept my hopes up and to those of you that helped me with my resume and stuff like that I OWE YOU BIG TIME.

  • Refreshing post. Best of luck to you!
  • I don't know you, but way to go!

    I know what's it's like to be in financial straits for an extended period of time, trying to figure out which to put off paying and which ones HAVE to be paid, and then trying to figure out how the heck to scrape the money together.

    Best of luck to you, and if you can't afford to buy anything, just take some good pics for us.

  • Yep, pretty much the way it's done now unless you gotta go with the plane.
    The only time I went outside was to take my final paperwork to the pilots.
    Who knows, maybe even more doors will open, it did for me (course it took
    15 years as a loadmaster!

  • Byron,

    Your story of what happened to you encourages me not to give up hope with my situation. Thats very good news!!! I can only hope something like that happens to me soon.

    GREAT News!!!

    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.
