anyways, the job is in pigeon forge. they are doing a background check and I have a online PI test to take. so that will be funny to see what happens with that. they may be like dude, your an asshole stay very far away from us.
Oooh, Gaitlinburgh area... nice area indeed. Busy town for sure, you will like it if that is your kind of town. If not, you can always look just outside of there to live in a not so busy town... I think Maryville is nice and quiet... you'd def be close to some good roads for sure.
On that other note... I'm also on salary, and expected to work over 40hrs a week. And due to the current economy, understaffed so no breaks and we have to take our holidays whenever too... the team attempts to be fair by rotating who gets the next holiday off... fun fun fun in Dec & Nov.
Upside to all that is that I finally made it to a bonus paying position... we'll see if I even see one this year ... and get 3 weeks vacation and 1 week for personal holidays.
I think you must be thinking of those IT peeps that work for the Gov. They get all the holidays and the Gov is so cheap they support old HW on low maint networks (is there such a thing?). But then again, I know one of those guys and he's barely cracking $50k in a town where the medium home price range was $300k so the dude couldn't buy a house...
