I feel your pain Eric, I had to actually write resume and apply for jobs after 17+ yrs at the same place, At least you are trying to get somewhere else rather than being out on the street on your butt after a lifetime

My getting this job actually saves the jobs of some of my co-workers. If I don't get it, there is a good chance they will be out on the streets come 1 April.

We might still have the attachments around here somewhere. I'd have to look.

They are really hoping it works out. Maybe even more than I hope it does. I really have missed that work over the last 15 years though.
