    Thank you.

    I'm kinda psych'd right now. I get a whole month off for R&R, then a better paying job 50 miles closer than the last one.

    Its kinda weird being in a position to bargain with an employer. I know that some big powerful corporate people can do it with mega college degrees - but not high school grads from the sticks.

    It's usually the grads from the sticks that make everything work in a corporation.......
