The one thing I've learned I wish I never would have had to learn is: Good jobs never last...but bad jobs never end. Have said before...which one is different...feel like being in a prison & being abused or not having a job lined up when you're let go?

On the other hand...my current job means having one of the best/or best manager I've ever had...a schedule I love & upper management doesn't bother me...short of asking how I'm doing. Working on my 5th year there. The last half beats the crap of the first half.
