Well I got the call yesterday and was offered the job. Big pay cut but good benefits.

 

Tough decision, but peace of mind is worth a lot.

 

That’s Awesome! Nothing better than steady employment with a umbrella of Health Benefits in a nice complex, and your the lead guy for a Trade your qualifyed for and possess the proper licenses. Weigh out the pros and cons, and I know you will make the best decision for you and your family. I have saying that in life you have to make your own Conditions.
Good Luck Kevin!!

 

Morning all!

Good news on the job offer Kevin.

My Saturday should be quiet. Kid is going snow tubing, wife is getting her hair done. Just me and 'she who doesn't speak'

 

Morning.
Totally burned out this week.
Getting harder and harder to rebound.

Chilling a little before I get on todays errands.
Should be around 40 today so might be able to get some ice off the drive..

It’s the weekend.. he haaaa. lol

 

Thanks Jimi. Very well put. I chased the dollar for so long without benefits. Seems I can’t find both down here. It’s one or the other.

 

It also helps if you enjoy what you do.

 

Ain’t that the truth...

 

I do, at times
I favored residential more than commercial because I got more appreciation from homeowners on a job well done. Commercial just wants you gone.

3 words Brother ... Quality of Life.

Take your time and relax along the way.

 

Morning all!

 

Happy Saturday y’all.
I’m hoping an axis doe shows up in awhile so I can give these 5 out of state college boys a story they’ll talk about for the rest of their lives

 

They’re all sound asleep.

 

I took a pay cut when I got out of my other job. But... zero stress, same benefits and medical, vacation and no lost time, as it's all the same company. Plus no more callouts when drunks hit poles at 2 in the morning. The choice was an easy one as I am debt free. Stay at my old job and destroy my body or downshift a bit for less money and ride it out till retirement.
IF I still had a mortgage , I wouldn't have been able to do this move.

Good luck with whatever choice you make.

 

Are you accepting their offer?

 

Oh great. Gonna shoot a deer, in your underwear, out your bedroom window..
Yeup they will talk about it..

 

That's exactly what I want to do. I have several boxes that I'm trying to repair. Our first two machines are on an older generation that are no longer The new generation is $16k a pop plus cost of having the machine manufacturer come in to update the back server. And there are 16 boxes per machine.

I worked for Bosch automotive for twenty years. Mike has probably had his hands on many ECUs that we made. So glad to be out of automotive now.

I resemble that remark...

 

Thanks man.
Yea we’ll have to blaze out of here. Property values have skyrocketed and can’t afford to stay here any longer. We knew we would leave someday.
I’ll be on call for 1 week 3x in a 2 year period. And it’s just for the university.

I countered,and they stayed firm. So I said I’ll call Monday. I’m wanting it,just talking it over with wife.
