II am now gainfully employed. I met with Bret this morning and I will be starting on Monday. I've known Bret for about 20 years and I feel very confident about the position. The work is very similar to what I did for Eastern Business. It is a different software package but I've had to learn different accounting packages. My healthcare benefits will start Nov. 1. That is a big load off my mind and my wallet. The company is Raritan Engineering and they make marine toilets, hot water heaters, and icemakers for boats and yachts. I will be going to nature club soon and up early tomorrow morning for a Toastmaster Contest. I have walked Danny and he will need to go out when I get home.
News from the Vorlon Wife.
That is great news!
Posted by: Reb Orrell at September 29, 2007 8:49 AMDear Karol,
Thank you for your lovely note. I so appreciate your kind thoughts for my sister. There are still so many unanswered questions about cancer. Ted just shouldn't have had cancer with the good way he led his life. A very large unanswered question isn't it? I'm sure you just feel so strongly that he should still be here with you and enjoying your life together. I know that must hurt you so terribly each day. Our faith gets tested very strongly at times. And, I don't think in our lifetime, we ever understand those enigmatic things.
I, too, puzzle greatly about Ted's death. It doesn't seem that he was ever placed in an unhealthy work environment and he didn't abuse his body - so, of course, we just can't understand a person like your dear husband becoming so ill with cancer. It is even difficult in situations like Ted's to figure God's reasoning. It pushes your faith right to the limit. Hopefully, God catches us before we fall into the abyss of not believing in Him. Our faith must remain strong. May God grant you peace at some point dear Karol.
Again, thank you so kindly for caring about me and my sister. Doesn't it seem strange at times that we can care so much for those we have never met? The Internet has allowed us to form friendships a very long way from home. And, I am thankful for that. I really would not have liked missing the opportunity to feel that I got to know you and Ted through sharing Ted's blog and now yours. That is such a gift to me.
I feel so happy for you right now that you've accomplished so much with your sweet home and now you have a new job that I feel will be good for you - and of course, as always, I feel Danny Boy is a happy little gift in your life too. My blessings to you always. Thanks again Karol, Love, Ruth
Hi Karol, glad to hear about your new job. Ed says hey I know that company - they have an upgrade marine toilet that we want for our boat, it's very expensive though. Maybe next year! Sounds like a good move since it's similar to what you did at Eastern. I know what you mean, I've had to work with different estimating packages but the basics are the same. I'm sure you will have no problem.
Talk to you soon!
