Well guys, i have something to say to all of you. This was an extremely hard decision for me to make but one i had to do, as of lately i know most of you know that i have had problems with my arm doin what i do for a living. I also have hardly been on here lately, so sorry about that. I have kinda felt lost. But it is good news for me, and the family and my future.

Well, in my trade, there is only three places to go, or should i say move up. Buy a shop, become a shop forreman or work for the insurance company as an appraiser, and around her we only have one insurance company SGI, government run.

Well, latley by the end of a work day, my arm has been killing me and i wanted to go work in the shop BAD, but i could not, had to let the arm rest, well the day before x-mas i had a job offer. I went to it and listened to what they said, after x-mas, i went back and they made an offer to me. One the i can not refuse. I loved what i did for a living but i have to take care of myself first before my boss. Well i went and sat down with my boss and said that "i have something to tell you, and this is kinda hard for me to do". He looked at me and told me, " I alreadly know James, and if you do not take the job, I am gonna fire you so you have to" well that was my decision.

As of wensday i am now a Gov't employee doin appraisals. The wage is good, great benefits, pension, every second friday off, MY "DOR" or day of rest as they call it. The transition has been exceptionally hard for me but i am getting there, at least i know all of the other appraisers there, makes it easier that way.

So i am no longer in the body work/ restoration trade, but do not fear, I am still gonna do it at home at nite, i have more ambition now than ever towards working at home, makes me feel good to have my hobby back as a hobby and i can enjoy it. Trust me, working on cars for a living is great, but you also get nowhere, no pension......... This was the best decision i could ever make. Also the hardest, but i am sure it will be worth it.

One morre thing to say, since my wife has gotten back to her job from mat leave, they have treated her like crap, she lost her desk...... everything, and she was one of their top accountants. So as of monday she also has a new job, better pay, pension, the works also and it is only 2 buildings from me. Gotta love that, she is so excited and nervous.

All i can say is that 2010 wil be a great year over 2009, at least for us. Just had to let you all know.
