Well, I have done some thinking.  If I get called for an interview I am going to go.  But, I am going to wait to see if they get any type of management or supervisor openings.   I would be working out on the gas wells if I were to go for the jobs that are open.  i would have to work a ton of hours Just to break even. It is an hour or so drive for me so thats another 400 dollars a month in added fuel expenses.  And, its a physically demanding job and my knees and back are shot.  I am kidding myself if I think I could physically handle it.  I would have to get up at 4 am and its quite possible I would be getting home at midnight and have to be getting up at 4am again.  I just cant do that.  Ken, you made many valid points that weighed heavy with me also.  I need to be in a position where I know exactly what my job is and then left alone to do it.  I dont know if I could take direction again after all these years.  I am just used to opening up the doors in the morn and doing what needs done, nobody tells me what I have to do. I just do it.  I thought about times when I have helped at functions that I am not in chrge of.  I hate standing around waiting for someone to tell me what they need done.  I dont know if I will ever be able to find a job working for someone else with what I am looking for.  I guess for now I will still be self employed but, I am still looking for somehing new.  I have no passion anymore for what I do.   I am in a rut and need something different.  :?
