It's like when I left a managment possition with Chuck E Cheese to go back to work @ the taxi company, the money is nearly the same, I'm not stressed at work like I was nearly everyday, and I have weekends off! The only real minus was the lack of medical benifits, but within the next month or two that will no longer be an issue!
