You said you don't know if you're happy or not about the job. You also said you have a chance to make some decent $ and maybe advancement. So if you're not happy, why? You don't like the work or you think it's beneath you?
If you don't like the work maybe you just have to suck it up for awhile. Life isn't always fun. If you think it's beneath you, well what you do for a living doesn't define who you are. There is nothing demeaning about doing a honest day's work and providing for your family, that deserves respect. There are people that will judge you based on what you do for a living. Those are the same people I'm not interested in associating with. I'm glad you found something, hope it works out for you if that's what you want.

Thanks for the encouragement fellas. I knew that I'd get some perspectives and opinions I hadn't thought of yet from my chevelleforum pals.

Update...real quick...
Bottom line, I was right. It sucks, in just about every possible way. I found out the the guy I work for is a piker. I'll work right around that if I can, but I'm seeing and hearing things that fit with my suspicions about him. The only good thing is that I've more than doubled the output numbers they expected out of me, which they base on other new employee production numbers. In 10 hours I'm getting about 25-30 bikes and a few other items. I'll tell you what, it isn't easy work. My arms and hands have been soooooo sore, I am literally turning nuts and bolts as fast as I can for 10 hours a day. I am working twice as hard as any job I've had in the last 5 years, and making 1/2 the $.

Sorry to hear it's not working out too good. Well you have a job and you can look for something else while this one brings in a little money. Good luck!

Could you explain what the term "piker" means? ... thats a new one for me! LOL
I have been without work myself for about 6 months ... welp, not exactly out of work because periodically I find myself doing work I would have never considered in the past. One half a day here and there changing sprinkler heads, painting a vacant apartment even changing light bulbs. LOL All for pretty much minimum wage. Being self-employed (Building Contractor, New Homes/Remodel) I have no unemployment check and any money I earn alittle goes to Uncle Sam so doing these sparatic jobs just dont seem to get me anywhere. I have found that I would rather work for free than do the mienial jobs that keep me in a state of depression. I have provided free labor to help build a Little League concession stand, did some extensive remodeling at the senior center at cost and few other "gratis" jobs. I find that this approach makes me feel good about my contribution and keeps my spirits up till the floodgates of work finally open again and I am confident they will. I base this belief on my experiences of these economic downturns of the past. It also keeps me in the working network and just possibly on of the people that I come into contact with might need, or know someone that does need my talent. Also, its important to keep your creditors "in the loop" so you dont have that hanging in the back of your mind. It takes time and patience but we always seem to survive these situations. Good luck on whatever you decide to do. Last edited by Rank; 04-26-2010 at 09:37 AM.
