Jon,
I hope you left for a better job and not just quit. In this day and age, it is hard for many to find a job.

well i quit cause i think i have a hernia an its getting worse an i might need surgery. i think im gonna try to get a real job thats on the books, an gives me insurance, an pays better, an requires less physical work so i dont get things like hernias from lifting heavy totes full of car parts.
i wanna get a job where my mom works. they mix chemicals an stuff to make synthetic skin for medical use an what not. they pay good.

If you are ever in a situation where you don't have health insurance don't list any possible pre-existing conditions on the web. You don't want to need surgery and get denied later on.

Started as engineer for a Major Appliance Manufactures, then spent the next 25 years as a motorcycle Dealer, then worked for Homeland Security and retired two years ago. Now I just work on Harps for my friends, play music with a couple of bands, and am Founder and President of the Crescent City Harmonica Club. My playing still sucks.
