    Yes, well...

    If you are not grown up enough to do your own thinking and make your own decisions, you are not grown up enough for...

    Granny Goose.

    It was the 'frog soup' scenario. (put a frog in cold water and slowly raise the heat until it's cooked so it doesn't jump out). They were a decent place to work, but each year, subtle changes took place making them a little worse. Each change was small enough not to quit over, but looking back, it was a big switch from what the were to what they are. That and a false hope that things would improve, which they never did, and a fear that if I left I would jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Basically, I ended up doing just that, moved to a company that couldn't keep a truck running down the road more than 10k without a roadside breakdown, then to a company that put me in decent equipment, but can't give me more than 9700 miles a month.

    Just think, if you'd leased a truck 8 years ago you'd just about have it paid off in full by wintertime in time to light your 3 fireplace in your minimansion with thick stacks of $100 dollar bills for kindling.
