Allright, general chat forum, so here goes.........
I'm feelin' pretty shitey right now - put in for an Engineer I position with the NCDOT, am workin' there now, and it really, really seemed like a fit for me. Moved up here from Fla., workin' for a Contractor there makin' $70K/year but very miserable - long, long hours, lots of stress, no life. Met the Mrs. (online, believe it or not), reassessed my priorities (believe me, there's more to life than money), quit my job and moved up here to marry the love of my life (and she has a YJ!!!!!!!). So, I took a job here makin' $35K (and no regrets, by the way) but figuring that, with my experience and skills, I'll get a little better. Put in for this job, pays about $40K which would be fine, uses my skills and abilities, came back "highly qualified", already working in the department, get along fine with everybody, KNOW MY SHITE!! I find out today that they hired some guy from Ohio....can't start 'til Jan. '05!!!! Met him today (which was really awkward). Having trouble dealing with this....can't really hold it against this dude - he's just looking out for his - and I definitely can't fault him for wanting to live here.
So my question is..........should I use my 20 gauge or the double-barrel 12 guage to blow my boss's head away!!! (JK)
Things could be worse....I live in the mountains of North Carolina and not Iraq and I own a Jeep!! (even though it is a "sissy TJ").
Thanx for lettin' me vent.......
