you could say that. Some days I just wonder how some people get into these high paying decision making positions. I have an interview Wed, hope it goes well, and I can get out of this joke of a job I am in.

Good luck dude.... I just passed my first round interview today for a $45k/year job. Got my fingers crossed, I have my second round on Thursday.

I say the same things every day. Damn shame I stumbled into the wrong one last year when I was laid off from that ISP and there were tech jobs everywhere. I guess something will turn up eventually.

I think a post I made awhile back sums it up. If you notice on your first day at work in an IT job that the company's network admin answers to the username of "NT4Jedi", you're in for a loooonnngggggg ride.

You should have my job, it's so boring that all I seem to do is surf the internet and set here on the forum all night.

Xayd,
I remember that, and how true it is.

I'd love to go back to working for someone else. I have a young man who works for me who has brought in a little less than I have this year, but has taken twice as much out of the office. I wanted to be the owner and make the big money. Nobody told me that being the owner brings the responsibility of paying all the bills. Maybe next year I'll resign and work for my associate.

So would I but after hearing all these horror stories and remembering my own experiences I don't think I could work for anyone else after 10 years of independence.

After all these years, I too doubt if I could work for anybody else. There are days, however, when working for somebody else sounds good.

Well, back to the present. Time to go out and do battle.
