A little over a year ago I started getting real disappointed in my job. I went and talked to management about it and was promised some changes. I gave them time and a few reminders of my goals without much beyond words.

I sorta half assed started looking for new employment. A few buddies of mine are linemen and kept telling me to go sign the books at Local 71. I finally got upset enough a few months back and took a day off of work to go sign the books.

Keeping my old supervisors in the loop with what I was doing. They offered me a new shift for me to stay. All though that was tempting, I'm glad I didn't. 2 weeks into this new job I'm starting to get a little more used to waking up at 0400 and driving 100 miles to the jobsite. Sure that sucks, but I'm still happier being an equipment operator then I was before. I substantial pay raise also helps. Lol

Not sure what I've been waiting for. Should've done this years ago when it was first offered. Oh well, better late then never!

Great to hear it Giles. I'm sure Redhunter will tell you it is a good thing getting out of there. Hard on your lungs.

Going to the OSU game tomorrow so decided to pick up a new hat today. They asked me at the counter if I wanted my name embroidered on it. Worked out well.
