Off the bench and into the workshop again

[mizarchivist]

quiet_elegance started his new job today. It's in Waltham this time building office furniture. Inside! Woot! He found out yesterday. They work fast, them business agents.
He's been out since July 24. That's almost exactly 3 months. In that time, he spent a lot of energy chasing down why he was in so much pain and doing something about it. All the doctors and PT staff  (he's now seeing my PCP, whom he declares a lovely woman) have agreed that as long as he's not hurting himself, he can work. So, working inside on lighter objects- not big slabs of metal siding or the like- sounds like the most cakey of cake jobs right now. Did I mention Waltham? That's a 10 minute commute. Lucky bastard.
Oh--- also- he's going to a expense-paid trip to Las Vegas for school in mid-December. He's one of 4 third-year apprentices who've been asked to go from New England. It's sort of a huge deal.

School in Vegas. Poor boy. I'm sure he'll find something to do between classes :-)

(Seriously, that's very cool. School for what?)

That's a whole lot of good stuff falling into the right places there.

Excellent! Hooray for both of you. :)

It's the ongoing apprentice training, actually. I had thought his going was automatic, but apparently it's not so much that, particularly with the organization cutting as much fat as possible.

The stars have been aligning in very pleasant ways. It definitely feels like we're getting some good after years of learning What Not To Do.
