You have probably guessed by now, that there are a LOT of men in my family
And so here is another Masculine card for you.
Yes it is a Grungy version of the One Wild Ride card I posted previously.
This one, is the celebrate my middle son getting a new job.
He is a mechanic and has been working with a tool hire company since he got his qualification 10 years ago. He was employed as a mechanic, but worked not only on the companies fleet vehicles, but also stood in with the domestic hire & Repair work.
The company recently moved him into a more sales & accounts manager, taking him more and more away from what he loves
And that is being up to his armpits in grease
He is also a keen on and off road motorcyclist.
He finally decided to go for it, and specialise
And he was offered not just one, but two jobs, working 100% of the time maintaining and repairing Plant Machinery
And he went with the company that not only is more local, but also the one offering a more competitive salary. I am SO proud of him. He starts in a weeks time and is a bundle of nerves, as most of us are when to make a career change, as we question our ability to do the job.
So I decided a Card From Mum is what he needed. I hope you like it?
