New job?

I dunno yet, but I had fun today!

The VP of manufacturing at my current employer asked me nicely to go help out at a competitors wire mill a few months ago.

I'm spending more and more time over there...spent seven hours there today.

Time to make the switch?

I dunno yet....but I truly enjoyed myself today. Mark Twain said that you've found the right vocation when someone pays you for that which you'd gladly do for free.

Hmmm....

I would talk to the folks where you are helping out and see if its a possibility, before I would drop my 2 weeks notice.

I would then get a job offer from them if they will hire you stating hours, pay, benifits ect.... then talk to you current boss about getting you more hours where you are at.

As long as you are working who cares if it for the compition, you are getting a ck right?
