After 10 yrs here, finally a better paying job.
With better benefits.
Passed physical and drug test. Wasnt worried. Don't even do prescribed unless pinch a nerve in lower back occasionally. Has to hurt bad, and only use a mild muscle relaxer. Will be busier(2-1/2 times larger shop, double the techs), but should make day go faster. Wont have to answer phone all day long dealing with wholesale accounts that return 3rd of what they order. And only have to deal with walk-in's while full time guy at that counter is at lunch or vacation, etc. Bad news wont be able to spend days here any more. Or nights till get new home computer. Haven't had one 11-12 yrs. Giving notice tomorrow or Friday, and being a rival company, probly be told to leave. So hopefully be back here soon. Thanks in advance. Mike OH YA....  and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Major congrats!!!
Going to a different dealer? I've been at my current job 3-1/2 years...man what a blessing over where I was for previous 14 years. Previous job was parts manager at a school bus dealership, got the mushroom treatment, did 5 peoples job, left on good terms. Now there are 5 people doing the job I performed all by my lonesome, yes really!!! Life is way too short to work for butt heads!!! I work on school buses now, and suburbans, pickups, vans. It's awesome!!!

Good to hear Mike, good things come to people who wait, although 10 years at a job that is tough to go to is no picnic, and a long time to wait.
Merry Christmas, Brad

Thanks everyone.
Looks like be here another 2 weeks unless decide to take some time off. Surprised the owner didn't tell me to leave. First time anyone can remember that happening.

Wow, that's surprising.
I was hoping to get run out out of the building from my last job. They asked me if I could stay an extra week on top of the 2 week deal, my new (and current) boss allowed me that (does that give you an idea of how awesome my current boss is? )I'm was standing in my office on that day when I told them I was leaving, w/ my immediate boss, and the general manger, and 2 other people. The general manager tells me I did a good job, first time in 14 years of being there...I almost busted out laughing...
