    The grass next door is always greener, till you got to mow it! You got a pretty good routine going, sometimes we don't know what we got till its gone.

    The only stacks of paper you have when you lease is the past due notices you get because you can't even afford PB&J or bologna

    Sometimes people switch companies ...then a few years later...realize they made a mistake. ..but due to pride...will never admit it. ...and never go back...so they keep moving from job to job...never finding a place their happy at

    Kinda feeling like that right now. Left Poly because of the equipment, now I am in much better equipment making far less money and dealing with a whole new set of aggravation triggers. I would go back, but I couldn't stand all the "I told you so's"...and 4 months without health insurance

    [QUOTEsupersnackbar, post: 542.6440, member: 9858"]Kinda feeling like that right now.

    Sounds like my current job, the insurance part anyways. Had to wait 4 months to get it. So if Poly got better more reliable equipment and less wait time on insurance would you go back there? As far as the 'I told you so's I get what you are saying but I wouldn't worry about that too much. I've followed you for a while now and wish you the best on what ever your next move is.

    I would consider it. Honestly, when I left in late October, I had already grossed (before their per diem wizardry) more than I will here in 12 months.
