    It was crappy. I'm now getting crap from above as I have been seen as "high potential". So what my boss used to do is falling on me. I currently report outside of the plant - Burnsville, Minnesota. However, I am dotted line to the plant manager and he is having me expand my area of responsibility that my former boss was able to stay off. No win situation currently. My wife and I have an agreement that when it gets to be too much and effects my health, walk away.

    I wish I could. My former boss already called me this morning offering me a job at the new place. It would be at least an hour ride to the other side of Hartford CT (Manchester actually). My guess with morning traffic, it would be about 1hr 20 to 30 min. Too far really for me. Sikorsky isn't too far away - I guess I could go build helicopters. As long as I don't have to fly in one I'd be ok...
