Ok so here's the news. I had to wait until today to be sure it was official.

Mike, aka Cobra, aka my man-beetch, accepted an offer for a position at BAE Systems!
You may have heard about some new technology being developed by them in the news recently.

He'll be working on that contract. His start date is 8/11/08.

This is HUGE news for us. It's a 28% pay increase for Mike, which has been long overdue. He'll finally be getting paid what he deserves for his background.
But it's about more than just salary.
BAE has a really great work atmosphere. They care about employees. Once you're in, you're in for life because you'd be crazy to leave a place like that.
Mike has been trying to get into BAE since college through friends that work there, but with no success until now.
So we're excited and hopeful that this will be the job that takes Mike all the way to retirement. schweeeeeeet!


And NO, good God no, I am not pregnant! NevAr!
It was kinda fun making you think so. Thanks Elky - although I think you're the one who should be announcing THAT sort of news out of the group. ;)

So anyway, I want to celebrate, and I was hoping you guys would like to join us. I told Mike I'd like to have a little party for him to celebrate. Maybe dinner and then back to our place to goof off (and smoke some of them cee-gars).
Or maybe something like doing a drive-in movie in Milford NH.

I don't know. Soon.
This coming Saturday may be too short of notice for everyone, but we're free.
Next Saturday, August 2nd might be good, but I think a lot of people already have plans.
August 9th is also doable.
 
Congrats on the baby!!!!!! Mmmmm baby meat :drool::drool:


Oh yeah, Congrats Mike!! Must be nice to finally get into the job you've always wanted. :cool:

Just post up a date and I can try to make it.
 
congrats to Mike, sounds like he will be happy and more pay is always a good thing :laugh:.
 
I always knew Kim was a gold digger. I could practically see the dollar signs roll up in her eyes through her post.


j/k. Congrats!
 
lol sometimes I joke that if I could do things over again, I'd try my hand at being a gold digger. Spending my time looking hot while someone else pays the bills. pfft no brainer there. ;)

Actually, this is more incentive for me to get myself a new job.
I was pretty much caught up to Mike in pay before. Now I've got some more catching up to do. ;)
 
Thanks everyone. Yeah, I'm pretty excited! I can't believe the state of mind BAE has in place. Actually care about the employees and they will do a good job. Amazing, isn't it?
 
Will you be located Hudson, Merrimack or Nashua? Or another location not on their website?
