Been offered a new job today at work, a step up into a supervisory role but paradoxically, I will lose out a little financially. It will mean I dont have to work all kinds of shifts (early/late/nights/weekends) at short notice and just work regular day hours, with maybe a little overtime. I wont be as hands on (I am a forklift Engineer, but this job is more managing and working on the PC and phone). I'll also lose my company car as I am based in one place and not mobile any more. Despite all the cons I think its a good move - anyone else offer any insight? got the weekend to think about it!

Will it mean you'll have more time for jamming?

:D :D :D

:D Undoubtedly - time yes, ability no. Money for new toys? no. Sanity through working normal hours again? yes. Im just sat down drinking beer and mulling it all over. Which I will do with my lovely wife tomorrow, then Sunday I'll be round at Vics making noise :twisted:

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

We spend so much time at our jobs, I for one think it's well worth a small pay cut for a job that will make you much happier. If I had two job offers in front of me with different pay rates, I wouldn't automatically take the higher one.

Congrats! :)

That's his guitar playing, actually - he's too modest, he's better than ordinary - I'll have to record the next jam session, you can see (well, hear!) for yourselves.

Hey Ray - hope you've been working on that solo, because I've got the finger-picking/rhythm part to More Than A Feeling NAILED!!!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D
