So….the last couple of months, I have been quite busy. I applied for a new job, and all the pre-employment things took up quite a bit of my time, focus and energy. I eventually made it through all of that to get the job, and almost 2 weeks ago, on the 24th of October, I headed out to Chicago for orientation. Last Friday was my first day on the actual job (Monday - Thursday was traveling and orientation).
This is something I am quite proud of, to be honest. I worked at Clemens Food Group for almost 5 1/2 years. Clemens is a hog processing plant in Coldwater, MI, one of the largest in the country (and maybe the world). They have a plant in Hatfield, PA, and this one In Coldwater was opened up about 5 years ago. We were told over and over again that we were “feeding America and the world”.
Now? I am “protecting America and the world” as a Food Inspector for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This position in this agency is an accomplishment that I take pride in. I actually even took the oath to defend the constitution. An oath I take very seriously.
Anyways, I have been away from the game for a couple of months or so because of getting into this new job. I have missed out on a couple of things, but hopefully will be able to get back into the game.
This was just something I wanted to share with you all, as I am excited for this new start.
Chris

Glad to hear things are going so good for you. As far as the game, that is the great thing about it. It never goes away. I stopped playing for a few years in the past and got back into it. Currently I have not really played in months and that is cool. It will be here when I get the itch to roll the dice again and that is true for you. Keep up the good work on the front line. Food safety is VERY important.
