I look for something else everyday .
I make the same as I did 10 years ago when there is work .
State Farm has Five yes Five corporate jets ...wtf

What shop just closed? I didn't here of another one gone lately.

As for work it depends, some weeks I'm over 50 hours, some weeks it's right at 40. Last week I had over 40 hrs before Thursday, it's not hard work any more at least from a physical stand point but some weeks like last week was very demanding on the brain so this weekend I got to go camping with my son and the boy scouts and we had a great time, helps that some of the other dads are friends .

Now this week I get to go to boy scout day camp with my son for two days ! But work call in a faver last week and I have to in on Wedensday instead of being off for the whole week but don't think I would want to go back to running a shop for anything
