Congrats, good luck to you and now, go look in the mirror and greet your new boss. :)

The best of luck and all success to you Angela!

Cool!! Good luck and maybe we will cross paths as the company I work for transports DOT regulated haz waste.

Good for you. Too many people are too busy making a living to enjoy their life.
Good luck to you.

congrats - I did a "Johnny Paycheck" at age 42.

consulting for commercial haulers? or??

I DID, and you know what? That crazy red-head is walking around with a grin like the Cheshire cat and she's wearing a TIARA! Now seriously - what kind of person masquerades as an adult while wearing a tiara? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat3.gif

Oh wait - I know what kind - a very, very happy person! My work is with truck and bus companies (related primarily to DOT safety but I do have some hazardous materials work coming up in Texas in August).

Right now, my plans are to take my handsome and long suffering husband out to dinner and a movie. Tomorrow and Saturday, I'm going to put in a couple of long rides on the bike. But Monday? Look out world - here I come!

You should tell your boss you want a raise or you will go back to your old job. Just kidding!!! Congratulations on your new adventure, and I hope you are very successful in your new -job.

Congrats, I hope your dreams come true.

Sounds like the right move at the right time. No more road trips through CA in Butters, though.

1st. YAY!!! I wish I had the guts to do this. I don't. HUGE admiration for people who can take a risk.

2nd. I do commercial insurance in the PNW. I have some / several clients that have fleets that have hazardous cargo. Can you PM me with what you do exactly? Perhaps we can scare up some business?

Oi...Good luck.

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss....
;)
Kidding! Takes a tremendous amount of courage to do what you have done, Angela. I admire you for that!
You will make it a success I am sure.

That takes great courage & due diligence.
When I went out on my own, a mentor said, "You're worth 3 times more to yourself."
He was right, only far more than that in $$$ and reward.
Congratulations! I don't know you but I am still impressed.

Congrats Angela.
Nothing beats being your own boss.
Went out on my own 36 years ago and have never looked back.
Wishing you a prosperous future.

What he said

Congrats, BUT:

You have a bike? Tell us about it........

Congrats! Now if you can just someone to do the government paperwork and accounting life would be close to perfect. Have fun.

She's a pedaller.

Not a motorbike. (though she could have one of those too, but I think it's 4 wheels and a motor or two wheels and she's the motor).

Nice, long hours.

I was hoping to come up with something witty and uplifting, but my mind is stuck, so, Congratulations Angela! The best to you!
