Fort the past 9 months at my job I've been working as an hourly,which has no benefits or paid time off.It usually take 16 weeks to get appointed(full time status),but with all the budgets cuts IU was going through they said they wouldn't be able to appoint anyone.Lastnight at the start of the shift my supervisor told me I was getting appointed starting on the 30th.I couldn't believe it.I feels like a big load has been lifted off of me.Now I can start banking some vaction time for some hunting.Hopefully I'll have a few days to take off this year ( you usually get a day vacation time a month).Hopefully by next year I can plan a nice whitetail hunt some where like I used to do back in the good ole days.Having this monday off will feel a lot nicer since I'm getting paid for it now LOL.
