Monte3, was just revisiting that last night actually. Unfortunately my wife passed up on a goo job at Yavapai county court house a few months back because we had just moved and i was still feeling the "i never want to move again" since then i've forgotten what that's like.
Last summer or two summers ago i had an interview at ADOT up there, seemed like a pretty good job plus i would keep my pension and retirement date. I was all dumb on that one though and insisted on making what i make down here in the valley, while i wasn't out of line on that I know better. Government agencies can't "buy" skilled trade workers they have a set amount for a new hire, I should have caved in...
