Good evening peeps.
A coworker and good friend of mine just got bumped up as an area supervisor for another company which he's been working with for like 2 years... and right off the bat is offering me work. The company treats it's employees like royalty, it pays better than what I make now, and it's less stressful.
There are issues though. There is no full time work. It's mainly events. If I tried hard enough, I could make it fullish time, but it wouldn't be as stable as where I am now. The other issue is most of the work is in Santa Barbara. Currently I live 6 miles from work. 10 min drive through town. Santa Barbara is 50 miles, and it can take anywhere from an hour to 2.5 hours to get to / from.
I am going to start taking the odd job up in Santa Barbara (especially since he can throw a bit more cash my direction for certain things), and when anything pops up in my area, I am first on the list to snag it, at least event wise.
