Thanks Lee. One big thing without that job is I'll get to spend more time with my family, most importantly my son who I've missed out on a lot of things with

Just chillaxin, wife watching wives of shitown shows, yawn... Had a busy weekend as I actually didn't have to work it. This weekend work Saturday, and I think I'm gonna do my front end and really inspect my hubs to make sure I need them, yes its taking some stuff apart twice but rather do that than blow money, when it can be used on other stuff...

Here's my take on this i don't know you but these are my opinions take them for what it's worth some of this may piss you off which is not my intention just an old guy reading about a young man doing the same thing he did and trying to figure WHY?
I was tired of getting screwed around and being treated like crap. Just a bunch of stuff that kinda came to a head all at once.
[There are not many places out there that apreciate their employees and don't screw you around ask any one of us older guys here, you did not prove a thing by leaving theres thousands of folks to take your place]
It was time for me to leave anyways.
[How did you come to that conclusion]
I was missing out on a lot of stuff in my life with my family for a job that didn't appreciate me at all.
[Missing your childrens growing up moments are heartbraking but when you became a husband/ father you accepted the fact that you were responsible for provideing for them
I can't count how many times my wife called or text me while I was at work covering someone else's shift telling me my son had done something new for the first time. It gets old missing all that stuff with my son and not having anything to show for it...
[Could this be the reason for it was time to leave any way]
I talked it over with my wife and we decided that it would be in our best interest for me to find a new job that will work with my schedule for school and give me time with my family
[My wife would have told me she thought that's the dumbest idea iv'e ever had]
. I haven't been able to finish college because I couldn't find a schedule that would work
[You don't have online courses in Texas]

The reason i'm writing this is as i said i did most of what you did a little earlier in my life,i don't understand why you did not keep your job while you looked for something else [did not understand it when i did it].You can't earn enough to support a family with what side jobs you get[dependig on frends and family gets old],with the economy in the crapper jobs are at a premium good luck finding one that fits your desires,does your wife work? I have been working for 37 years i have never worked any where that apreciated me or did not screw around with me,you are paid to do a job and that's what they exspect they don't care how you feel inside. I spent 10 years in the military i missed most of my daughters growin up but she had food and a roof. I have missed a lot of my sons growin up but again they had food and a roof. I can't do much for my cars because it's a luxury so i do with out. Most of the reasons you gave are lame in my opinion but what do i know im just an old fart who don't know nuthin. Get your education and improve your self don't fall in the lazy mans way of life [you will be temted] if you want some thing you'll get it.

You're welcome. I know what you mean in a way, circumstances are different but I get it. What I mean is, since my divorce I feel I'm missing a little more than half of my son's life...it's hard not to think of it that way, which is why I cherish every moment I have with him.
But, in this economy and current unemployment rate, I surely hope that the maintenance, mechanic and paint/body shop work is enough to keep you and yours cared for. And I'm sure it is considering you and your wife discussed it and made a family decision.

Watching my neighbors frantically running around making sure stuff in their yards won't fly away or tip over while me and my mom are just chilling hoping nothing hits my truck since it's the first storm in a while
