One of my old bosses called me up today out of the blue, and offered me my job back. Pretty much the exact same job that I did in the past. Same customers, etc.
I am at the point where I should start working again, and the timing was uncanny. I can always find work, but sometimes it's easier to slip back into a previous job, since there's really nothing new to learn.
So, in a few short days, you won't have to worry about me posting here during the vampire hours, since this is a Monday to Friday day job.
I always try to do my jobs well, keep the customers happy, and not burn bridges completely down. Employers and customers don't forget that, especially when the next guy they hire or send out is a complete idiot!
Job security is one reason why I do what I do. And if you can do the job well, there is always work. People frown upon my work. They should not. Won't get rich, but I have done worse for less. And the work is there. Usually as much as you want!
Wow! I'm so swag! Im swagalicious!
Dont truckdrivers just get called back in and then laid back.
Gigs.
Odinson, there's so many variables, that I cannot answer this question. It all depends on where you work, what type of job you do, and whom your employer is.

You are so magnanimous. No wonder you inspire such a great following. ac_biggrin
I wish I could be as forgiving as you.
BTW, I like your new Avi. It fits you.
You inspired it :)

ac_unsure "Inspired" what?
To my knowledge, the only thing I inspire is nausea.
My new avatar.
You don't inspire nausea!!!!
Quote from: "RW"
Depends who you ask. ac_unsure
BTW, I couldn't have inspired that Avi, you're not showing any boob. ac_biggrin

Piece of cake slipping back into an old job. Hardest part is getting used to waking up at the crack of dawn again.
On a side note, it was interesting to learn that they recently hired a mechanical engineer. He quit a six-figure job working for a major airline. Didn't like the hours, and didn't like the stress (I don't push for too many details). Apparently he walked in off the street with an interest and willingness to learn, and the desire to be trained for zero wages, and he's now truckin' on his own.
I guess this job suits his lifestyle better (day shift, Mon-Fri), since he has kids. I'm assuming his wife works also, so he can manage on these reduced wages.
In the past, I've road-tested an airline pilot, and a psychologist. No shit! Many guys driving are idiots that cannot string a sentence together... Once in a while you get surprised. Just goes to show it isn't always about the money!

My husband's company had an apprentice electrician that was a former armed forces officer.

Pilot is not a good job until you get up to a major airline, not some little regional carrier. Do you mean mechanical engineer or aircraft maintenance engineer? If it's the latter, a lot of those jobs are moving to Mexico.
