You guys know my story of late.
While I don't really like the hourly job I am doing now, it is kind of nice not having any more responsibilities than my route and those accounts. My home phone doesn't ring late at night with someone calling in sick or a machine down. Heck, I don't even carry my cell phone at my side. It sits in the truck and I check it between jobs. When it rings, I very casually pick it up. When I get home at night, work is done.
My wife says I have been much more relaxed lately. I consider this as a break of sorts from the management grind I was in at the old company. I spoke to my old boss today. He told me things are getting even worse for the folks that are left and should consider myself lucky that I am no longer having to deal with the crap.
Bottom line, IMO, is that you should take it for what it is and enjoy it as long as you are making ends meet noone should worry about it.
Funny thing is that we are probably better off now financially than we were before I was laid off. Life is funny.
