Over a year ago before Ike got his promotion at Setpoint nucor had a job pool open up, so he thought what the heck i'll put in for it along with the other 4,999 people. The process for a job at nucor we were told takes forever, well we learned that he applied in december of 2011 and got offered the job in january 2013. In my opinion that is way too long to be waiting and wondering if you had got a job or not; but i guess if there are not that many people that applied then it should take that long. Well he passed all the tests, physical exams, and strength tests and started working there the middle of february, so it hasn't been too long. So far he has seemed to like it and likes most of the people he works with on his crew. There are lots of people that have mixed feelings about him working there, and it seems that whoever you talk to they either are totally against it and can only say negative things about it and then there are those that are positive and tell him how great it will be and how much he will like it. He is on rotating shifts which i haven't decided if it is a good thing or a bad thing; i do know that when i am off work i like the fact that he is sometimes home as well. It seems that so far i have been able to see him more often then before when he worked down at setpoint. It does suck when he has to work weekends, but then that just means he is off during the week, so we can just do stuff then instead of on the weekend. I am sure it is going to be an adjustment for me and for him as well, I'll have to let ya know in a couple of months how we are holding up and how we are liking this new and exciting change in our lives.
