Georgia Peaches

Well I received some very interesting news a couple of days ago.  As some of you might now, the company that Jodi and I work for (McNaughton-McKay Electric) has branches stretching from Michigan all the way down to Atlanta Georgia.  Well in our branch in Norcross, Georgia, they fired the warehouse Manager.  Well my name came up as a possible canidate to fill this spot. 

Nothing offically has happened yet as we are still waiting for the spot to be offically posted.  I have already talked with an old contact in one of our South Carolina branches who is a BIG SHOT and have layed some ground work with him.  He is actually the one who put my name in the ring.  And by the way this BIG SHOT is someone who use to be Jodi’s boss.  So of course he too would like to see Jodi come down to the southern region and continue what she is doing up here.

As it stands now, Jodi and I have discussed that we will at a minimum we will both go down there and interview, see what the jobs are all about and if we are offered positions (which Jodi has been told that she doesn’t have to worry because they will create a spot for her) then we will really have to make a life changing decision.

What the change in job would mean for me is that today I work in an 85,000 sq ft warehouse with 4 other Warehouse Supervisors.  The warehouse in Norcross is 50,000 sq ft and I would be the only one running the warehouse.  This would give me full control of all functions in the warehouse and really take it in the direction I feel would be the best.   Along with taking over full control over the warehouse, this job would help train me for further postions within Mac and Mac.  Which yes could mean future moving to other locations.  But as Jodi always tells me “take one step at a time.”

So keep us in your prayers and hope for us that we are able to make the right choice for our family if the oppurtunity presents itself to us.
