    Same line of work (hauling trash), only with a different company. I double the commute, but, eventually (weeks/months) will have a $4-6 dollar per hour raise.

    Kind of nervous, and a bit apprehensive. I'll get through it though.

    I hope you get $6 dollars an hour raise sooner rather than later.

    Congrats!
    When I changed jobs about 7 years ago, I was very nervous. I couldn't decide if I was jumping from a sinking ship to a ship that might not stay afloat for very long(both "ships" are newspapers).
    And every time there was a rough spot, I thought... dang... I made the wrong choice. But, now, I'm happy with my decision. Well... I guess I have to be, because there's no turning back now.
    You'll do great... and just think of all that extra money in your pocket. :stew2:

    Change can be nerve wracking! It certainly is for me. Good luck, and kudos that you had the courage to make the change!

    Wow way to go FBG. Very proud of you for not letting your fears keep you from stepping out and going for it. One never knows what blessing are just on the other side if one will just walk threw the door so to speak.
    Looking forward to hearing a great report in a few weeks. :stew1:

    Hang in there, mate. Congratulations. That sounds like a pretty good raise. Try not to be too nervous if you can ...after all the work is the same, isn't it? Just hang tough, we are with you.
