chublil, It happens everywhere. You found a house gig, I livre so far from the shop, it's kinda like working a house gig, or being on my own. The difference between being on my own, and working for the other man, I don't have the headaches. There has been a lot of talk at the shop about things, but i don't usually hear the bull till the smell has died down. From your posts, you seem to have your head on straight. Glad you have found a happy home. GOD does take care of us sometimes, inspite of us.
