Feel's good to get a new job huh, it's like a new car or something.

I travel rte 24 north to 93 north and get off in Quincy. Without traffic it's 20 minutes, with traffic it can be 1 hour 10 minutes. Got another job offer, the office is based out of Tauton which would be rte 24 south. I'd be driving the opposite way of traffic coming to work and going home.........if I get the job. That's another story.

It's not listed on the companies web site. It's nice thought because I would have a company van and I'd be able to get into work wicked quick. From there I would get a couple of orders and drive around repairing stuff. It's around a 5,500.00 - 6,000.00 pay increase as well.

I'll drive to Don's and TP his house on the way to work.

$5K sing on bonus would help get that car going again.

What are you going to use for CAD software?
I hear Johnson and Johnson is a real sweat shop. They work people real hard there, pay them a salary then make them work long *** hours, no overtime.

Good Luck.

Rob, they use Unigraphics. I have experience with Pro E, Solid Works, ONespace Designer. All solid modeling programs.

Depuy actually treats their employees pretty good. I know 3 people that make great salaries as engineers, work 40hrs a week, workout and play ball at lunch, etc. We'll see.

I have been using Unigraphics now for 12 years.
I have my Unigraphics Masters certificate. I know J&J uses UG I know just about evey company in new england that uses it. I attend UG users group meetings and thats why I said they are a sweat shop cause employess like to talk about there employeers, and see if anyone else is hiring at these meetings.

Cool. I never used UG, but most solid modeling software is the same (as far as the parametric side). I assume I'll catch on quick.
