It may be less than half of Denver, but it's more than double what you're making now!

I just hope I am not forced to make a decision before I am ready to. I am still waiting to hear back on the last job I interviewed for - which is comparable salary to what I was making...and has full benefits. I need to make a decision that makes the best financial sense for both Randy and I.
Of course you never know...could be that neither of these companies picks me. Ya just never know. Its a tough world out there.

The benefits deal has got me stressed out. My short term should kick in on Sunday when my old stuff expires. I just hope everything goes aite with the switch. I couldnt believe how cheap short term was. Of course I know its short term, but still! It was like 900 for 6 months for me with my heart surgery not even a year ago...not bad for my broke up azz! Now to find a good full time job with full benefits in 6 months...

You should be able to find a job with benefits Tristan.
Lisa it sounds like a decent company, too bad the pay wasnt a little better.
My current jobs kinda sucks. The guy is just starting out and cant really afford to have me there. But I do kinda feel sorry for him, so I havent just walked out on him, yet! His stuff is always breaking down, he has no shop to fix his stuff at, barely any tools and whatnot.
I almost feel like telling him to bring his stuff out to my house and Ill fix it, but he cant afford that haha.
I just cant wait till spring time, that way i can just do my own thing(hopefully). I dont have to work right now, but now that I am cleared to work, i would rather be abused a little and keep busy, then sit at home all the time.

The job market here is horrible. I was talking to a guy that had a good sized shop 4 Electricaians 4 Apprentices Himself and his son (partner) now they are down to just him and his son and not getting 40 hrs. Alot of the smaller guys have closed up.

My brother in-law owns one of the largest electrical places in So Cal, he had to lay off 225 employees last month. He only has about 45 people working for him right now.
So Cal is real jacked up right now.

Good evening everyone!
Lisa- let us know if you hear anything on the jobs
Sheldon- how did the pup do today with her surgery?
Jim- How was J-L first day back at her old school?
Got all my shopping done with my monster, who were suprisingly good while we were shopping, everything put away, took Chase to work, been relaxing a bit and getting ready to fire up the grill and make some burgers!!!
