This story starts over a year ago with this thread.

I have been employed there for almost 4 months now, I have enjoyed every minute, and have been learning new interesting things every day. I LOVE IT!
Last week my boss brought me into the conference room to "Have a Talk". He informed me that 2 of our employees are leaving, one of them being the "Fabrication Director", and the only one who knows how to program and run some of the CNC machines in the shop, like the HAAS Lathe and KOMO router, among 2 mills and a plasma cutter. The loss of these valued employees will leave 4 people left in the business, including me.
With the loss of the fab director, the building will be without a machinist, which leaves me, who until 4 months ago was still a self taught amateur model engine builder. My boss offered me a new job taking over the fabrication side of our business, needless to say I said YES!. I will also be doing some "Light" design work, and creating solutions to problems.
This is a very exciting opportunity for me, and I have ALOT to learn in the next 40 days, when I will be assuming all responsibility for running the CNC machinery, among this I will be learning how to write programs manually for the HASS lathe.
I am confident in my abilities and I really want to be there, but it is a scary BIG step for me.
I just though I would share this, as HMEM has been a great source of knowledge and inspiration, and a HUGE contributor to where I am today.
So, Thank you HMEM!
