@mark Had not "see" you here recently except for a couple of posts.
How is the new job going?
-
It's going well. Some days I get tired of not being able to just grab my guitar or sit down at my piano at random times but, over all, it's been good for my social and mental health. I am most assuredly under paid. And the owner seems really "frugal". I've been there for 4 months and have definitely demonstrated my abilities and worth. Surprised there was no 90 day evaluation. The owner assured me that the pay world increase quickly. Maybe his idea of quickly doesn't match mine. I'm giving it a total of one year to improve drastically or I will start looking elsewhere. I will be asking for a raise at 6 months if nothing isn't offered before that time.
Thanks for asking!

No indication that an evaluation or raise is forthcoming.
However!
I received a job offer last week from an old business associate and friend I have known since the late 80s.
Slightly better pay. Much better benefits. Work from home with occasional on-site customer and office visits.
George, you will love this...
He is a premier Apple dealer with managed services. Has over 500 individuals that subscribe to an annual support contract and about 20 medium to large corporate customers that are all Mac and iOS.
A return to my Apple roots? I would get new top of the line MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone.
I can start whenever I want. We're meeting this week for dinner to discuss particulars.
Figured I will finish out the year as I have a week of vacation i need to take and with us currently operating with a skeleton crew, I don't want to leave my current employer in a bad place. I want my departure to be amicable.

Thanks for the update, Mark.
I am so glad to be retired (8 years now) - and it's been the best 8 years I've had.
Remember, benefits are VERY important - retirement funding, health insurance, etc. Those bennies can easily offset a salary increase. Our group was exceptionally aggressive about funding our retirement. Had it been up to me, I doubt I could have retired when I did.
